St.Mary’s, Westwell is a small early Norman Church standing in a sloping churchyard at the centre of a picturesque hamlet. The Church is adjacent to a fine 17^th C. Rectory. We currently have two services a month: 9 am Holy Communion and 6 pm Evensong, with on average 6-8 attending, although the numbers increase at Christmas, Easter and other festivals. We do not have a village hall so our homes or the Church are the only places to meet communally although the Church lacks any facilities. There is a pond just below the Church which is a haven for wildlife and was once a watering hole for livestock.

Westwell’s population is around 50 including several weekenders.  All the old farm buildings have now been converted into residences and the workers’ cottages sold off and extended, making them larger with fewer inhabitants. We have a natural affinity with St. Mary’s Holwell less than half a mile away and try to attend each other’s services.
