About

St Mary the Virgin is the parish church of Monken Hadley. It is located in the Diocese of London and markets itself as "The Beacon Church" after the medieval beacon on its tower. That beacon has become a symbol of the local area, and forms the badge of the nearby Church of England primary school.

The church remains a focus of eucharistic worship within the surrounding district and maintains a strong choral tradition. Its tower bells are in good order and regularly rung, eight being hung for change ringing, and the ninth as a sanctus bell
