Covid19 Update - May 2022

We have our full pattern of services in church - details are shown below.

Wearing a face covering when entering the church is no longer required, but we do ask you to be  considerate to others and be prepared to wear a face covering if asked to do so. 

​We also ask that people pay particular attention to using the hand sanitiser provided and keep a social distance.

Choral Evensong has returned on the first Sunday of the month at 6.30pm.  All are welcome.


​There will be a Book of Common Prayer communion service on Thursdays at 10.00am.

All parts of the the church are open during the day for private prayer and contemplation.

​We are now able to hold baptisms, weddings and funerals without any official limits on numbers, although we would ask event organisers to be sensitive to the preferences of those attending and plan accordingly.

We can accommodate between 30 and 40 people fully social distancing in the church and 60-70 people comfortably without being overly close.


​If you wish to discuss holding a baptism, wedding or funeral at St Andrew's ​please contact the vicar using one of the contact forms.
