Access & Facilities

The church is situated on a hill with steep paths through the church yard from the north and south lychgates. There is also a level path leading to the church from Rectory Drive.

There is a Crèche available in Ivy Cottage for babies and very young children during the services other than Family Worship or 'Special' services. When the children go out to Sunday School (about 10 minutes into the service) the crèche arrangements will be explained.

There is no toilet in church, but you are welcome to use the facilities at the Rectory if necessary - a sidesman will take you over to the house during the service.
