Notice and Consultation - The Large Wooden Cross

Please note that we have had to take down the large wooden cross near the area where cremated remains are interred because the base of the cross had rotted through and was in danger of falling.
The cross has been laid on the ground underneath the tree on the left hand side of the new area of the churchyard.
The PCC is now considering what, if anything, will be an appropriate replacement memorial.
If you have a particular view and/or would like to contribute to a replacement memorial,
please get in touch using the contact form here, and we will add to our discussion.
 Home Visits and Communion at home

Many feel the need for loving companionship and someone to share their worries, concerns and joys; or just a good chat and catch up with local news.
 
For people cannot get to church anymore and would like Holy Communion we are happy to share that and the Love of God with them.
 
We can visit people in their own house, or local nursing homes and the hospitals.
 
If you know anyone who would like a visit do please let us know by calling 07479 437299
 or fill in the form and we will get in touch with you.
