Whether you’re new to Bedfont, exploring faith for the first time, returning to church or looking for a place to call home, it’s wonderful to have you with us.
St. Mary’s is the Church of England parish church for Bedfont, a historic village that is now a ward in the London Borough of Hounslow. We are in the Ecclesiastical Area of Kensington of the Diocese of London.
Our ancient church building sits on the northern edge of Bedfont Green, near the junction of the A315 Staines Road and Hatton Road. Our Church Hall and Vicarage (postcode TW14 8JR) are close nearby.
Our Vicar is Revd. Philip Smith. The vicarage telephone number is 020 8751 0088.
