Access into the church is step-free.
There is level access into the building.
The 89 and 21 bus routes stop opposite church.
Gluten free Communion is available every Sunday, and our Vicar has a coeliac child so cross-contamination is taken seriously here.

Other Features
As an Inclusive Church, we are delighted to celebrate love and relationships in their rich, God-given diversity.
We would love to chat to you about the options available for using the Prayers of Love and Faith to celebrate your relationship - please be in touch with our vicar, Revd Sara Moore (via [email protected]) for a conversation.
We are working towards our Bronze Eco Church award.
