Thank you for visiting our Church website : A Church Near You - Crick.

Let's get to the most important thing about Saint Margarets Crick. We want God to be totally delighted with us. We want to put a smile on His face. As part of that, we hope that you see Jesus Christ in our lives. We want to be part of drawing you closer to Jesus, and for you to receive a living relation with Jesus and eternal life!

The first Church was built on the present site of the chancel c700 AD as a wooden structure, which, in later years, being re-built of stone. Late 11th. century onwards, saw more re-building works and alterations carried out by the Norman Overlords. A tower and spire were added during the early 13th. century. Around one hundred years later, Hartshill stone was used to re-face the tower, this is what we still view today in the 21st. century.

The Church is a Grade 1 listed building. The Church and spire have undergone a phased, major restoration works project over the last few years. Recently restored, historic organ with Chapel Royal connections. Norman font. Archbishop Laud was once rector.

 Prior to 1996, the tower housed only 4 bells and had not rung for many years. The frame and fittings were in desperate need of serious renovation in order to continue the traditional and almost uniquely English full circle ringing method.
