SAINT MARY'S

Saint Mary's Church, is the oldest in Staines. It is said that it was built on the same spot where the ancients did their ceremonies, and there are tales of Druidic stones being in the same area. The stones were called the Negen (Nigus) Stones and were mentioned in a 12th century manuscript. There were 9 stones which in the Druidic ways is a sacred number.

St Mary's has been built a number of times, the first actual building was erected in AD 695 by St Ermingeld, abbess of Ely. Since then we know that it has been rebuilt in the 1630's and the most recent in 1828. Parts of it have been changed over the years, but it still stands in the same place, that of the old pagan site, in view of the river Thames.
