Untouched since it was first built by the local farming community, St John’s Chapel feels as though it has captured within its walls the simple spirituality of those who first worshipped there almost 300 years ago.
AccessibilityJenkin Chapel is accessed by narrow, winding roads that can be difficult to navigate, particularly in the winter months. An uneven path leads to a heavy door, and inside, the floor is uneven and the box pews are cramped. Wheelchair access is therefore limited.
ParkingThere is no official parking outside the church.
ToiletsThere are no toilet facilities available.
ServicesPlease find below a brief summary of the main services provided at Jenkin Chapel. There are different styles to suit a range of different tastes and temperaments. For more information regarding service times, please see the Services tab above.
EvensongThough Evensong is traditionally choral, our service is a more relaxed, prayerful and meditative one for those looking for a quiet space in amongst the busyness of life.
Carol ServiceAs Jenkin Chapel is not fitted with electricity, wrap up warm for this traditional candlelit service.
At Jenkin Chapel, we work hard to maintain a safe environment for all. We are committed to implementing the House of Bishops’ safeguarding policies and good practice guidance.
