WELCOME TO ST MARY’S CHURCH, HAVERHILL
St Mary’s is the parish church of Haverhill, a market town in the far south-west corner of Suffolk, bordering Cambridgeshire to the west and Essex to the south.
The mediaeval town first developed around Burton End, where there was an 11th-century parish church, dedicated to St. Mary’s, called Bovetownchurch. (In the 19th century this name was misrepresented to become St. Botolph's.) A second church also dedicated to St Mary’s, was established in the 13th century on the main highway, and was referred to as ‘the Chapel’ in the very early days. Both churches were for many years under the patronage of Castle Acre in Norfolk. In 1551, however, the people requested that St Botolph’s be abandoned, and now nothing remains of that church. The town centre and the market then shifted to its present position around the church of St Mary’s.
Set now in the heart of the town, beside the market square, where a market is held on Fridays and Saturdays, the church’s venerable walls inspire people and minister to them simply by being there. Like all old churches, St Mary’s is a place where people of all faiths or of none may find beauty and inspiration, and which Christians may look upon as their spiritual home.
