All events Calendar

Everybody is welcome at our services - whatever your age or experience, come and join in with as much or as little as you are comfortable. Our historic church is located in a beautiful rural location with a car park nearby in Church Lane; if the car park is full we sometimes have an overflow in the field beyond. It's OK to use the layby for parking, but if you need to park in the lane itself, please get as close to the hedge as possible so that others can pass. The main door (for historical reasons!) is on the far side of the building, and if you are in a wheelchair or have mobility problems, there's level access through the west door - on the right as you approach the building. We aim to have large print versions of service sheets for those who need them, and please feel free to ask the stewards at the door if you need any help.
