All are welcome to join us at Jenkin Chapel for this candlelit service.

Do wrap up warm. There is no heating at this remote but beautiful little chapel.

Jenkin Chapel

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.

Accessibility

Jenkin 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.

Parking

There is no official parking outside the church.

Toilets

There are no toilet facilities available.

Services

Please 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.

Evensong

Though 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 Service

As Jenkin Chapel is not fitted with electricity, wrap up warm for this traditional candlelit service.
