Facilities and features
Accessibility
We are signed up to the inclusive church statement and are working towards being more accessible whatever your circumstances.
Church and hall are both wheelchair accessible. We are sorry that in order to get from church to the accessible toilet using a wheelchair it is necessary to go outside and in again. Please speak to a welcomer to ask for the hall door to be opened if you need this facility during a service.
Assistance dogs are welcome, as are other well-behaved dogs if kept on a lead
Our Reader is experienced in chaplaincy with people living with dementia, and our quiet, traditional worship is accessible for many who are affected.
Our service books are available in 18 point font at all services. If you need a larger typeface, you can request this in advance by emailing [email protected]
Our Building
Music and Worship
Our 2 manual organ is currently electronic, using Hauptwerk software with the console from the organ taken from St Francis Church, Newall Green. We hope to be able to install the St Francis pipework in the future.
BCP Evensong is sung at 4.30pm on the third Sunday of each month except December, when we hold our annual carol service.
