Visitors to services are always very welcome. It is a very popular church for weddings. There is a service every Sunday at 9.00 am. Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday except for the fourth Sunday, when there is a Morning Worship service. Evensong is also celebrated at 6.30 pm every Wednesday. The church is associated with nearby Castor St Kyneburgha and shares the same priest.

In the chancel, which Sir William Fitzwilliam rebuilt towards the end of the Pre-Reformation period, there are monuments to members of the Fitzwilliam family of nearby Milton Hall (present representative Sir Philip Naylor-Leyland Bt).

The Fitzwilliam ArmsThe Fitzwilliam Arms in Marholm is a country pub & restaurant oozing rural charm and rustic character. Its picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub food on the menu and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing the bar.
The majority of buildings that surround the inn were once owned by The Fitzwilliam family, so there is no question about the reason for the name of this pub restaurant. The Fitzwilliam Arms is situated centrally in the village of Marholm, next to the best known natural landmark in the village; “The Green Man”, a 100 year old privet hedge.
