All are welcome

Our church caters spiritually and socially for all age groups within our local community, reaching out to them by opening our doors, inviting people in and by moving out into the community whenever possible. The church is used almost every day of the week. The building which stands in extensive grounds, has been open for worship since 1801 and is Grade Two listed. Following a major refurbishment, the building is now pew-free allowing it to be used more creatively.
