The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin in Ross-on-Wye is, by far, the largest of the churches of the Benefice. The church serves a town of some 11,500 inhabitants and is open every day from 9am to 5pm to visitors and for private prayer. The spire of St Mary’s, towering 205 feet into the air, can be seen from miles around as a welcome to worshippers and visitors. From the Prospect, adjacent to the churchyard, there are views across the horseshoe bend of the River Wye to Brampton Abbots, and well beyond the boundaries of the Ross Benefice as far as the Welsh Mountains.
As the only Anglican church in the town, St Mary’s plays an important part in the lives of many and is a real community hub hosting regular events and community organisations throughout the year.
