Building works to restore the church tower will start on 1 April and last until mid-August 2025. During this time, the church will remain open everyday for private prayer and for our normal Sunday Services. Entry to the church at weekends will be through the Lychgate door. During the week, the tower doors will not be in use for the public. There will be an alternative entrance via the Lychgate path towards the back of the church. Please follow the signs. The door into the church is clearly marked as CHURCH ENTRANCE. We regret that there are two steps to this entrance and therefore it is not accessible for those using a wheelchair. During this period, wheelchair access to the church is only available at the weekend via the Lychgate Entrance.
