We manage our churchyard in an environmentally friendly way. We leave areas un-mown from May to August. We have planted wild flowers to encourage wildlife and have held events such as building bug hotels, moth trapping and bat monitoring in the last year. We do not use oasis in our flower arrangements in the church.

We are members of Inclusive Church. If you would like prayers following a Civil Partnership or Civil wedding, please contact the Rector [email protected] who would be pleased to talk to you further.
