Church of Saint Marie

Church of Saint Marie is a Catholic place of worship in Bury featuring Gothic Revival design with pointed arches and tall towers. The exterior displays detailed stonework and vertical lines typical of the architectural style from its era.

Construction started in 1841 under architect John Harper from York, with the building welcoming worshippers by 1842. From its opening, it became an important place of faith for the local Catholic community.

This church serves as a gathering place for Catholic worship and community prayer throughout the year. It holds religious observances that reflect the traditions of the people who come here to pray.

The church is within walking distance of Bury town center and sits on a main road making it easy to find. Visitors can explore the interior, and parking is available in the surrounding area.

A digital bell system in the church tower plays hymns on the hour throughout the Bury town center. This automated system creates a musical connection between the building and the rhythm of daily life in town.
