Events

For many years, Merton church has provided a beautiful setting for occasional events, including concerts, guided church tours for small groups, and Open Days with displays illustrating the rich heritage of the church, village and Merton estate. These events have been attended by local villagers, members of the wider community, and guests from as far away as Australia.

Following on from the very successful Church Tours held in the last couple of years, we have two further tours planned for 2025. The first will take place on Tuesday 10th June, and the second on Tuesday 1st July. The tours will start at 2pm, and will again be conducted by our local historian, Joan Matthews. As well as exploring the architectural features of our beautiful little church, visitors will learn more about the relationship between the church, the village, and the de Grey family, who have been lords of the manor of Merton since the Norman Conquest.

Tea and refreshments will be provided after the tours.

These events always prove popular so do book as soon as possible,
