Welcome

to Stowe Parish Church which is situated adjacent to Stowe House (the home of Stowe School) in the centre of the world famous Stowe Gardens run by the National Trust in Buckinghamshire, England.

The church building is more than 800 years old and information on the building, its history and the churchyard is available within this website.

We are an active parish church serving Stowe, Dadford and the surrounding area. We are part of the Benefice of North Buckingham with Stowe and Rev. Hans Taling is our rector.

We aim to be a warm, welcoming church serving our parishioners and all who come to visit us, including staff and pupils of Stowe School, and visitors to the National Trust Gardens.
