Please note that we are all now strongly advised to wear face-coverings inside our churches.

The national Church of England guidance has been updated to comply with the Government guidance on face coverings in shops and public places to also include church settings:

“… face coverings should be worn by all those attending a place of worship, including ministers, worshippers, staff, volunteers, contractors and visitors... remembering that they are mainly intended to protect other people, not the wearer, from coronavirus COVID-19 and that they are not a replacement for physical distancing and regular hand washing... Social distancing of 2m in church buildings remains unchanged and the wearing of face coverings should not be regarded as a reason to reduce that safety gap."
