The Reverend Alexander Chapman MA was responsible for the formation of St Mary's Women's Guild in 1886, now known as The Guild of St Mary's-Greyfriars' Church. It is open to men and women who want to join in the fellowship of sharing God's word within a warm and friendly group. The Guild currently has a membership of 51.

The theme for our 2007-08 session is "Let's Live: Body, Mind and Soul" and the Guild committee has prepared a full and varied programme for the membership and visitors to enjoy during the coming winter session. A warm welcome awaits anyone who wishes to come along to any of our meetings. Enquiries are welcome from anyone wishing to know more about the Guild.
