Welcome to the Parish Church of St. Thomas, a member of the Church of England and in the Diocese of Chester, commanding a magnificent position above the Cheshire village of Mellor. Mellor Church was built on the crest of a hill and is situated within the boundaries of an Iron Age Fort, the remains of which have only been discovered in recent years.
Welcome to the Mellor Parish Centre. These stone built buildings were once the village Primary School, and have now been extensively and sympathetically renovated and re-designed to provide the Parish of Mellor with an extraordinarily versatile Centre. Several rooms are available for use, all having the availability of a large well equipped kitchen area and modern toilet facilities. The Parish office is also situated within this building, and controls most of the Church and Centre activities from this point. Rooms are available for functions, activities,events, exhibitions and are also fully equipped to host Conferences. Full details of rental rates are to be found on the following relevant pages. Wedding receptions and concerts are hosted here on a regular basis with great success. Please browse the details pages to see what we can offer you.
Mellor Church possesses a wonderful pipe organ built in 1977 by Noel & John Mander, which ably accompanies both congregational and choral singing. A strong choir leads the sung worship at 9.30am on Sundays, and once a month at Evensong service. The organ is situated traditionally at the rear of the Church
The Churchyard is kept as a haven for wildlife, with planting of insect friendly wild flowers being carefully planned and monitored
Outstanding views are found from right outside the Church door where on clear days even the Welsh hills can be seen clearly, as well as the whole spread of the Cheshire plain.
