The Parish Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin

About

As part of Heritage Open Days 2026, we shall be open on Yorkshire Churches Day and offer you a warm welcome. We are part of the Bradford Episcopal Area of the Anglican Diocese of Leeds, situated in the beautiful Wharfe valley. Our Patron Saint is the Blessed Virgin Mary and appropriately we enjoy a magnificent commemorative stained glass window. All the windows are stunning. The oak choir stalls, pulpit and altar rail were crafted by the renowned Robert 'Mouseman' Thompson who lived and worked in Kilburn. Come and see how many of his signature carved mice you can find and don't forget to ask why the one on the altar rail had to be removed! There will be a quiz to appeal to both young and old, and light refreshments will be available. We look forward to seeing you!

Please do not park on Corn Mill Lane - access is needed for emergency vehicles.
