Death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

It is with great sadness we hear of the death of Queen Elizabeth.

The church will be open from 10am Friday 9th September for any who wish to remember or reflect on the life our Monarch for 70 years.

Lack of updates

A word of apology for those of you looking here for details of services. I had failed to notice that the calendar events I had created had ceased to be valid and this meant there were no services showing.

They are now in for rest of the year (subject to update for 5th Sunday, Harvest and Remembrance)
