Welcome to the website of the Church of Saint Mary de Haura (at the harbour), New Shoreham, which was launched on 1st January 2003 to coincide with the Inaugural Service of the church's 900th Anniversary year. All of us who worship and serve in this holy place are aware of the heritage into which we have entered, for St Mary's is a church with a fascinating history and beautiful architecture.

This great church has indeed stood as a sign of God's presence at the heart of the town of Shoreham since circa 1103, and it continues to inspire parishioners and visitors alike today. It is our hope that everyone who visits our website will themselves be inspired by it, and will want to come and see the church in person. You will be most welcome, whether you come to join in our regular or special services, to pray alone, to attend a concert or other event, or simply to admire the Norman and Transitional architecture for which the church is renowned.

Thank you for visiting our website, and we look forward to welcoming you at St Mary's at some time in the future.
