About us

The Church

Shaw Church

We are a gentle and welcoming place, where you can come and just be, or come in need and receive help, or come and be involved.

Our tradition is open Evangelical, using both traditional hymns and contemporary songs, we are relatively light on liturgy but remain recognisably Church of England.

Alongside our regular worship, people in the parish come to us for Christian Weddings, Baptisms and Funerals.
The church is also a focus for a lot of other activities that go on, and you are welcome to explore these pages to find something or get in touch to suggest something new.

The Church Building

The Church of Mary the Virgin,
Shaw cum Donnington

St Mary’s was built in first half of the 19th century on a site of at least two previous places of worship.
The style is late Norman/early English.
The chancel roof has recently been retiled. Gutters and down pipes have been replaced or repaired as appropriate. Exterior pathways and lighting were replaced in 2018 and the interior lighting was upgraded in 2019.

The interior is light and airy with a centre aisle and fixed pews.  Stained glass windows are found on the north, south and east walls and a Butterfield decorated chancel and sanctuary.

There is a large car park on the opposite side of Church Road.
