St Mary's Church is a magnificent Grade 1 listed church on the outskirts of the village of Rostherne and enjoys an elevated position overlooking the spectacular Rostherne Mere. The earliest document relating to the church is dated 1188, although the interior of the church reflects a late Victorian reordering. Services are held every Sunday morning (see link to our parish magazine on our website https://www.rosthernewithbollington.co.uk) and sometimes in the evening during the summer months. We are about to build an extension to house an accessible and a unisex toilet, and are also in the process of making internal changes to provide accessible space for our flourishing ministry with families and other church events.
