St Hilary

Welcome to St Hilary Church.  We are an open, inclusive church in the modern liberal catholic tradition.

Our lovely building is generally open during the day (from 10.00am - dusk) and visitors are very welcome.  We also offer a warm welcome at our services, which are generally Sundays at 9.30am for a Sung Eucharist and Wednesdays at 10.00am for a Said Eucharist, both of which are followed by refreshments.
