We are a friendly church. We are open daily for friends old and new. Here since the 15th century. Our church community is in the main drawn from our own small parish together with regular worshippers from neighbouring parishes. The church volunteers organise many social events in the local community both for fund raising purposes and more importantly to eliminate social isolation and find out what people really want from their church.  We have recently received a huge amount of support to enable the completion of a programme of repair and restoration work to the church costing in the region of £125,000 for which we are extremely grateful. We are always looking to grow our congregations at our monthly evening services of evening prayer or holy communion or our regular themed songs of praise services with a variety of readings and to welcome people in to our church social community . The Church is grade 1 listed with many unique features including boxed pews, Jacobean pulpit, 13th century font and rare candle sconces.
