Saint Martin’s Church in Fenny Stratford

In Aylesbury Street at the heart of Bletchley

Serving the Communities of Fenny Stratford, Central Bletchley and Granby

Who we are

St. Martins Church is situated at the corner of Watling Street and Aylesbury Street and serves the parish containing Fenny Stratford, Granby and Central Bletchley, east of the main railway line.

Work on the present church began in 1724 at the behest of Browne Willis a prominent local High Churchman and Philanthropist as a memorial and testament to his grandfather Thomas Willis an eminent physician of his day. It was purposely built on the same site as an earlier chapel dedicated to St. Margaret and St. Catherine, which was sadly destroyed at the time of the English Reformation.

We are a Eucharistically centred community, witnessing to the faith handed down from the apostles. We offer a form of ministry, worship and spirituality firmly rooted in the Catholic tradition of the Church of England. In an age of uncertainty, St. Martin's remains firm in upholding traditional and biblically based church teaching and practice. It witnesses to this in its catholic and historic understanding of the ministry of Bishops, Priests and Deacons, its teaching on the seven sacraments and its understanding of Christian Marriage as something permanent and indissoluble between one man and one woman.
