We are seeking to make the church a place to drop into for solace and space during the week. You are welcome to come in and look around at the historical features 'of the building, some dating from Saxon times. We have historic information to read, and photographs of the church interior to view. There is an area where children can come and read some books, a space to light a candle and leave a prayer request. There are books on how to pray. There is also a book stall where people can bring books and buy books for a small charge or donation.
