St. Denys Church, Goadby Marwood
January 2021
Sadly there are no physical services offered for the month following the lockdown announced on January 5. The church is closed but individual visits can be made by telephoning the Churchwarden, Harry Westropp, on 07710 108982.
Once the situation improves it is intended that St. Denys will offer an Evensong service on the 4th Sunday of each month.
Every three months we will host an Ironstone Churches Communion service at 10:30 a.m.
Everyone is warmly welcomed to attend these services and to stay for a coffee or glass of sherry afterwards
THE CHURCH
Situated in the heart of this conservation village, the Grade 1 listed ironstone church was built around 1280 with additions in the 14th Century. It was restored and reseated in 1884.
The church is dedicated to St Denys. It possesses more carvings than most, with four gargoyles adorning the church tower and many stone faces found within. The attractively-patterned font dates from the 14th Century.
At the rear, the imposing Goadby Marwood Hall overlooks St Denys.

NEWS FROM LAST YEAR
November 2020
All the village wishes our Churchwarden, Neil Rogers and his wife Chris , the PCC Secretary, a happy retirement in their new home. Everyone is very sad to see them leave Goadby Marwood in December after many years when they have given the church and village unstinting support.
The remaining Churchwarden Harry Westropp and the PCC are currently seeking applicants to fill the vacant roles. So far we have had little success although we have a new member of the PCC, Nigel Allen, and Nigel Bell is assisting the Churchwarden as PCC treasurer.
The roof of St Denys is now completely restored due in large part to the efforts of Neil and Chris Rogers. However there remains a sustantial loan to be repaid and once Covid restrictions have been lifted it is intended to hold a number of fund raising events.
