Our Building

The Grade 2 listed building is a fine example of the Victorian 'mock-Gothic' style and is enhanced by its woodland setting. The church contains a number of works of art.

A solitary bell is rung before the start of each Sunday morning service. Please ask if you would like to have a go.

Concerts happen throughout the year and details are posted on this website.
