Facilities and features
Accessibility
There is a portaloo in the churchyard
The Church car park is available every day between 10.00 am and 6.00 pm during British Summer Time - otherwise between 10.00 am and 4.00 pm.
The car park is accessible to all - reached by the stone track across the field which surrounds the church. Do not be put off by the gate into the car park - this is to stop the sheep in the field grazing the parking area as well!
There isn't one in the church itself but one can be found in the old telephone kiosk by the grass triangle in the centre of the village.
There is a ramp to allow wheelchair access into the church from the main door in the South Transept
This is used at each service
There is ramped access to the main body of the church. However there is a step to the chancel area which it is impractical to eradicate except on a temporary basis.
Our Building
Please use the church - and churchyard - for private prayer whenever they are open. There is a small chapel in the South aisle which you may find ideal for private devotions.
The Church was founded in approximately 1120 AD and was extended in Mediaeval times. There is short guidebook and history available in the church.
Music and Worship
A single manual Holdich instrument installed in the 1860s which has remained virtually unaltered since it was built. It can be heard at every 10.30 service.
Please see the Calendar of Services for up to date details of these but the general rule is that we hold a 9.00 am said service of Holy Communion according to the BCP rite every first Sunday of the month.
