St Martin's, Barholm is a medieval church, exhibiting Saxon origins and beautiful Norman arches and arcading, as well as evidence of the Tractarian values espoused by the parish in the 19th century.
The church serves the small parish of Barholm-with-Stowe - around 50 houses, a thriving public house & a well-respected private nursery school set in a conservation area.
Visitors often comment on the special atmosphere of peace and tranquillity within the church - which is also enjoyed by worshipers (from inside and outside the parish) at our service of traditional Evening Prayer on the first Sunday of the month at 6pm and Holy Communion (Common Worship Order One traditional language) once a month at 9am
We welcome those who wish to have a guided tour in large or small groups and why not combine this with a cup of tea and cake.
