The practical stuff...
The 900 year-old building is wheelchair, buggy, children and dog friendly, and although the church hasn't got a car park, you're welcome to use the Village Hall car park just next door. Fortunately we have got a modern extension with a large airy meeting room, a toilet and basic kitchen facilities.
Services
Everyone, and we mean everyone, is very welcome;
it’s quite relaxed and no-one will put any pressure on you to do or say
anything. A service booklet has everything printed inside so you'll know what to do when - it's completely up to you how much you join in with. And if you need to leave or get a breath of fresh air during the service, no-one will mind in the slightest.
