Café
Our café is currently closed while we make arrangements for a new operator. Watch this space!
We apologise for any inconvenience. In the meantime, there are a range of cafés, restaurants and pubs within a short distance of the church.
Accessibility
Please refer to the image below. The church can be entered via the north (red arrow) and south (blue arrow) porches. The north porch is reached via a series of steps while level access is available via the southern entrance. Unfortunately access to the toilets is via steps. As a temporary measure, a portaloo is available outside the south porch. We are in the process of planning a redevelopment of our facilities - Project 450 - which will include remedial actions to address the current deficiencies around accessibility.
