The Buildings  
There's always flowers on a windowsill facing Chapel Road 
It's our way of saying "Welcome". 

Our prayer and aim is always that folk who meet us will also meet Jesus in a meangful way. 

See Events for images of our life together. Or carry on down this page to see more about the Buildings.


Outside
The Church, built in 1811, sits at right angles to a delighful country lane. The front faces the Old Graveyard. The extension on the left includes the School Room and kitchen.
For a list of burial records see Gravestones

From the back the chapel looks more like a house than a church. The tiny upper windows were where the caretaker once lived. T
he rear Graveyard is still in use, along with a large carpark. At the left of the righthand picture is the (now-unused) late C19 outside toilet.

With comfy chairs, efficient heating, kitchen, toilets, two social rooms, an office, lounge and off-road parking, ours is a well-equipped church. We also use the Village Hall for occasional events and services.

 Open Baptistry
Open BaptistryPeople don't always realise as they walk down the aisle that there's a baptistry underneath.  
(It's only filled with water when needed!)

The Church Lounge and Office

The Old Stables, near right, has been refurbished as the pastor's office and church lounge.

 Holman Hunt's painting "Jesus, the Light of the World" is visible from the doorway. Somewhere to work or rest.
