Outside the Church building

Here are a selection of photos taken outside the Church building

Lych Gate

The main entrance into our Churchyard at the top of Church Lane

Easter Garden

A focal point for several outdoor services including a service on Good Friday. We also had a Covid memorial service here and a service commemorating the life of Prince Philip

Cenotaph / War Memorial

A place of remembrance for those who gave their lives in the wars. Our Remembrance Sunday service concludes here.

Churchyard path

A well maintained path leads from Church down to the Lych Gate providing an accessible way up to the building

Cremated Remains plot

We have a special dedicated area for the interment of cremated remains which is often visited by people paying their respects

Main Entrance into Church

We love throwing the doors open and welcoming people for our Church services and events. If you would like to drop in for private prayer and reflection during the week, do get in touch and if we're available, we'd gladly let you in.

The Church windows

We are very blessed to have some beautiful stained glass windows. Here is a selection of them...

The Resurrection of Christ

Here we see Jesus outside the Garden tomb - his first resurrection appearance. You can see some lilies in the picture which are often used to symbolise the resurrection
