St Marys Church Redbourn 900

The present building dates from about 1100. Over the years it has been altered and added to. In 1478 a bequest of £20 from the Vicar was used to construct the oak rood screen. Recent repairs include the Church roof, tower repairs, stonework, the organ, provision of new gates and lighting. A large measure of the funds to do this has been provided by The Friend's of St Mary's Church. Until the 19th century St Marys was the only church in Redbourn.

The exterior St Mary's became Lourdes for the filming of The Eejits as a pilot for a comedy show to be shown on Channel 4
