It is also a living church where the local community meet for regular services and which is used for various other community events during the year. We are part of the Oak Hill group of parishes and run a quarterly Cafe Church style gathering around the parishes.
You are most welcome to join any of our services as detailed in our monthly newsletters.
From Easter through to the end of summer time the church is open daily to welcome visitors. At other times, a local neighbour will be able to let you in - see the church noticeboard for more details.
We regularly collect items for the North Cotswold Foodbank.
