A Place of Worship
For Over 1000 Years
The parish serves
the communities of Worplesdon, Fairlands and Wood Street Village.
It has two churches, St Alban's, Wood Street Village and St
Mary's, Worplesdon. Whilst there has been a church building in
Worplesdon for over one thousand years, there has only been a
church in Wood Street Village since 1925 and the present building
dates back to 1967.
