We are a small, friendly church in a large building steeped in history, originally founded as a monastery for a community of Premonstratensian canons. We welcome local residents as well as visitors, and our congregation often includes the odd dog or two. We have a service of Holy Communion on the first and third Sunday of every month at 9.30 am. The church is also open every day, throughout the day.
Everyone is very welcome – please do come and join us.
