The parish council would welcome the views of the younger parishioners of the parish. This can be via e-mail, letter or telephone. If you wonder what work the parish council does have a look at the minutes page and the information on the parish.

The parish council holds a large range of records that are generally available for public consultation. If the parish office does not have the records they may know which agency or organisation does. If you are undertaking a project it may be worth a phone call to see what reports, papers, maps or consultation documents there are. Arrangements can be made to view the documents in the evening or at weekends.

St. Mary and All Saints, Boxley

   Welcome to the Parish of Boxley

The ecclesiastical parish of Boxley covers the village of Boxley itself and the areas of Grove Green and Weavering and we are the Church of England parish church for that area.
If you are able to visit the church you will find a beautiful Norman building that has been the home of worship for in excess of 900 years. It is in an area of outstanding natural beauty nestling at the foot of the North Downs and visitors are welcome to come into the church which is open every day.
Our Sunday services are 8.00 am, said Holy Communion and 9.00 am Sung Eucharist. On the second Sunday of the month at 9.00 am we have a Family Service within the church and the children often take an active part. Besides the regular services all the festivals are celebrated and these are advertised in the local press and in our Parish Magazine. We have a choir which has members of all ages, a thriving Sunday School for children 3 years and above, and an active Brownie pack and all the children are encouraged to participate in church activities. For the older members of the community there is a History Group, a Sewing Group, a Women's Group and the Social Committee also arranges events at different times during the year and we are currently looking at other activities which may be of interest. There is also plenty of opportunity to get involved on all sorts of occasions. Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals can be arranged through the Vicar, the Rev'd. Ron Gamble whose telephone number is 01622 - 758606 or through the Parish Administrator, Mrs. Z. Dixon who can be contacted on 01634 - 842508. You can be assured of a very warm welcome should you wish to join us.

Rev'd: Ron Gamble
On behalf of the Churchwardens and people of Boxley Parish.
