The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene, Clitheroe, Lancashire, England

Home

Please go to:

A very warm welcome to you all.

Situated some 35 miles (56km) north of Manchester in the Ribble Valley, in the Diocese of Blackburn, the church is built on a limestone outcrop in the centre of the town of Clitheroe, within a peaceful church garden enjoying panoramic views across the valley, flanked to the north by Dunsop Fell through which the Trough of Bowland runs.

The main services are supported by a full choir, accompanied by a particularly fine organ, the latter stimulating an active concert programme throughout the year. Visitors and newcomers are assured of a warm and friendly welcome at all our services.

A peal of eight bells and an unusual east window depicting 1000 years of local history, reminds us of the long connection between the church and the community.
