Currently, the church has limited appeal, it lacks the amenities to properly host a range of events that we know would fit with a building of its character and presence in the village. As presently configured it doesn’t lend itself to functions where conviviality is key, where attendees can sit in comfort, where young and old can mix in smaller groups – perhaps performing crafts or sharing produce. Providing refreshments is always a challenge. Alternative service formats are not always possible and hosting any kind of group performance is a squeeze, logistically. Comfort is clearly a major ‘turn-off’ as is lack of suitable facilities. 

 We face the prospect that diminishing congregations and use will lead to lower income and possible closure!
