Welcome to St Mary the Virgin, Gisburn in the beautiful Ribble Valley. This is an area of the country rich in history and ancient churches. Despite the many changes which have taken place over the centuries the church has continued to show us the changeable but changeless presence of God in his world. Many generations have worshipped in this church filling it with praise and prayer. It has become a place of peace and stillness in a world of bustle and noise. As you get an idea of what the church is like today and learn a little about its history, we hope that you will glimpse something of the holiness of this place.
