Thank you for searching for us! We are a very friendly Parish Church near the centre of this village. Under normal circumstances we hold a Service here every week, normally at 11am.

We pride ourselves on the excellent cake and coffee served after every Service! During the pandemic we are instead holding Zoom Services - see elsewhere on this site for contact information.
