St. Mary's, Orlestone, is the official Anglican parish church for the former village of Orlestone, and for the newer village of Hamstreet. It is now in partnership with the Church of the Good Shepherd in Hamstreet, which is a Local Ecumenical Partnership (LEP) with the Methodist Church.

The official name of the parish is St. Mary's, Orlestone with Snave. The parish includes three churches, St. Mary's, The Church of the Good Shepherd, and St. Augustine's, Snave. St. Augustine's no longer has regular worship and is looked after by the Romney Marsh Historic Churches Trust (www.romneychurches.net). There is one service held there a year, a Harvest Festival choral BCP Evensong, held in early September.

Our congregation is small, but friendly and welcoming. Please join us for our mid-week BCP (Book of Common Prayer) Communion Service each Wednesday at 12 noon (from Ash Wednesday to Christmas) or our monthly Sunday service, every third Sunday at 9am.
