St. Mary’s Anglican Church, Warwick Village (1834–1995)
The history of the parish of St. Mary’s Anglican Church of England, Warwick Village, dates back to 1834 when Rev. John Radcliff, a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, arrived in Warwick. At first he held services in the homes of the scattered settlers and also in Burwell’s Tavern. He conducted the occasional services of marriage, burial and baptism.
The 150th anniversary was celebrated in 1984. When Canon Houghton announced he was no longer able to serve as rector at the end of June 1995, the members decided to close St. Mary’s Church and to attend Trinity Anglican in Watford. The Diocesan Executive gave permission for St. Mary’s Warwick to become a “chapel of ease” as of September 30, 1995.
Chapel of Ease
When Anglican churches, especially rural ones, started closing due to declining membership, they became "chapels of ease" or places for prayer and preaching but places that were dependent on neighbouring churches for most services. Often these churches had a cemetery as part of the property. Church funds are available to maintain the church building, the grounds and the cemetery. The chapel of ease is obliged to hold one service a year.
