There are always some gluten free biscuits around! Gluten free Communion wafers are also available, please ask someone when you arrive in church.
Our Building
There are two separate areas where we have stained glass windows - the major one is a beautiful window behind and above the high altar in the Chancel. The second is on the opposite end of the church , which following re-ordering is now visible from the mezzanine floor . An old photograph has been uploaded showing the window , after the old organ had been removed , and before the building work had started.
Music and Worship
We have a digital organ which is used at least twice each month and the sound is comparable with a pipe organ.
