St Boniface, Bunbury is a splendid parish church, dating back to 1320. John Wesley preached here in 1751. The church was fairly extensively 'updated' by the Victorians but retains its light, open feel and an even warmer welcome! We have regular worship which ranges from Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion, to a Family Worship with live music, to sung Evensong. We hope to welcome you to our very special church soon.
