There is said to be evidence to show that there has been a chapel or church on the site of St Mary’s Acklam for over a thousand years. The first reference to ACLUN is found in the Doomsday Book with a mention of 'a church and a priest'.
In 1853 it was renamed West Acklam to avoid confusing it with Acklam in the 'East Riding' but it was not until 1866 that the Parish of West Acklam was formed and the Rev E.G. Charlesworth became the first vicar.
The 1874 church only seated 135, with the rapid growth of the modern town of Middlesbrough and the new housing estates being built nearby prior to the Second World War, the little church soon became inadequate and more seating was required. A large extension to the North side of the 1874 church building was added, though still retaining the nave and chancel of the older church as the Bede chapel, the foundation stone being laid on 4th July 1956. The completed church was consecrated on 19th October 1957 by the then Archbishop of York, Dr Michael Ramsey. St Mary's could then cater for a seated congregation of 400.
For further information, please see a book written by the Vicar at the time of the 1957 extension Rev’d John L. Badger.

Giving is an act of worship, of love and gratitude.
Ways to give
Simply place cash, cheques (payable to 'PCC of West Acklam'), gift aid envelopes or stewardship envelopes in the offering plate or at the back of church
during any of our services.
St Mary's receives no aid from anywhere other than from the people who generously support the church whether that be those who attend the services or are
visiting, if it wasn't for them then St Mary's would not be lit, heated or any repairs done to the building.
If you on line shop and use Amazon, when Amazon asks would you like to support a charity, search for Acklam and select St Mary's.
Amazon will then donate 0.5% of the price of your item(s) to St Mary's without any extra cost to you.
A common misconception is that the 'Church of England' being the state religion receives money from the government or local council to pay all our bills,
pay the salaries of the clergy etc..
They do not give us a penny!!!!
