St Mary de Lode

St Mary de Lode is the oldest parish church in Gloucester, England, part of the Parish of Hempsted with St Mary de Lode and St Mary de Crypt. As an Anglican parish within the Diocese of Gloucester, the church is part of the Church of England. The parish comprises three churches: St Mary de Lode, St Mary de Crypt, and St Swithun's. Parish life centers around the weekly celebration of the Eucharist and witnessing to the love of God in Jesus Christ in the city center and Hempsted. The church welcomes both established Christians and those seeking to learn more about the faith. Services include regular worship, and the church offers christenings, weddings, and funerals for those living within the parish boundary or with a connection to the churches. The parish receives no Church of England or external funding and relies on donations to remain open.
