St Mary's Catholic Church in Studley
Welcome to the website of St Mary's Catholic Church Studley. We are a small but very friendly and active parish in the village of Studley, near Redditch. We hope you will enjoy finding out about our parish community and it's activities.
St Mary's was built in 1853 on land donated by the Throckmorton family of Coughton, and with funds raised by the Throckmortons and other Catholic families in the area. The first parish priest was from the Benedictine community of Douai Abbey in Berkshire. It is still served by the monks of Douai Abbey and our present parish priest is Father Benedict Thompson OSB.
