St Mary the Virgin is an Evangelical Anglican parish church situated at the western end of the village.

There is evidence to suggest that there has been a church on this site since Saxon times and part of the current building certainly dates from the 12th century.

Today, over 800 years on, it is active, thriving and growing and is very much an integral part of village life.

Whilst in interregnum (no vicar) the Church Wardens are responsible for the Church (Simon Pilcher 850819 & Richard Peake 850374). The PCC Secretary is Shirley Wilcock at shirley.wilcock@hotmail.co.uk. directed via the Church Office on 01279 814 285.

The Parish Records are within Henham History website. Click here for  Henham History Website.

Should you wish to find out more about the history of the church it is available in an excellent publication at Saffron Walden Library called 'Henham Church and it's Congregation' by Joyce M. Winmill.

CHRISTIANITY EXPLORED
What do Christians believe? Who is Jesus Christ? Did he really exist?
Is he really God? If he did exist and he is God, what did he say while he was here on earth? Does he really tell us what the point of life is?

We have only one life – what is it all about?

During these uncertain times, now seems a great time to investigate who Jesus was and make your own mind up! Come and join our relaxed and informal zoom course.

• You don't need to know anything about the Bible.
• You won't be asked to read aloud, pray or sing.
• You can ask any question you want.
• The sessions last about one hour and include a video to watch and the opportunity to find out who Jesus is and why he came.

HOW TO JOIN VIA ZOOM: Sessions can be tailored around your day; we can run meetings in the morning, afternoon or evening to fit around homeschooling, work and family life.

If you would like to join a group please contact office@heuchurch.co.uk stating which day and time slot (morning, afternoon, evening) suits you and we will contact you about joining a group.
