Business Profile

About Us... We are a friendly group of Christians meeting regularly in this beautiful Parish church, set in the lovely Pennine village of Marsden.

We would love you to join us in our worship and to take part, with us, in this spiritual journey of exploration of the Christian faith. We now have a said service of morning prayer at 8.30am every Sunday.

More Information... We are still supporting THE WELCOME CENTRE at the Methodist Mission in Huddersfield. This is a food bank for families in crisis that are referred to them by frontline professionals. In the 1890’s Revd Richard Buller became Vicar – he was described as a man of unbounded energy and strong determination. Under his tenure of office plans were put forward to re-start the building works. Hodgson Fowler of Durham, assisted by James Kirk of Marsden were the new architects. Foundation stones were laid in 1894 and the main rectangle of this building, forming the present Nave, was completed and dedicated in October 1895.

More money had to be raised to build the Chancel, Lady Chapel and the vestries and these were started in 1898 and dedicated the following year. It originally had 500 beech wood chairs which were replaced in 1907 with the present stained pitch pine pews, given by the builder of the church, James Whitehead of Oldham, in memory of his wife Hannah. The chairs are thought to have been sent to Selby Abbey, probably to replace those lost in a fire there at that time. The church had one bell at that stage.

In 1910 the temporary stone wall at the west end was showing signs of weathering and it was decided to commence building the Tower and Baptistery. The foundations had already been laid and it was completed and dedicated on 6 May 1911.
