Contacting Us

St Mary's church is one of a group of five churches: St Chad's, Hutton le Hole; St Gregory's, Cropton; Christ Church, Appleton le Moors; St Mary & St Laurence, Rosedale Abbey.

Like all rural churches we face many challenges. However, we continue to be what our churches were founded for over the centuries: as places of prayer, worship, study and hospitality; signs of the beauty and generosity of God.  All the churches are supported entirely by donations from parishioners, visitors and by fundraising events. 

The Lastingham Benefice is now in an interregnum. For further information please contact:
