Rector Rev Sue Clarke
General Introduction
Welcome to the parish
Although we are hugely proud of our historical significance, we recognise that it is both a duty and a joy to maintain the integrity of the past whilst accommodating the present and making room for the future. In the year 2,000 the church was re-ordered in recognition of these thoughts as we installed a new kitchen and toilets, disabled facilities, an induction loop system, baby-changing facilities and generally a more adaptable system of furniture. Modern angels were etched into the glass doors of the new entrance lobby joining the impressive row of stained glass along the south side. The local school buried a time capsule at the west end of the church under the carved stone 'Be still and know'
''Our reason for existence is to worship God and to serve our community." Both groups and individuals actively engage in developing and supporting each other and those around them. Events are held in the church ranging from classical concerts to fairs and a scarecrow exhibition. In Holy Week pews are shifted and replaced by long tables down the centre of the church as we share a meal with our friends of other denominations
Church set up for Last Supper April 8th 2009 for 80 people.

Harvest lunches, afternoon teas, children’s activities, fair-trade days and much more now takes place in this ancient building.
For those unable to come to us through illness or infirmity, we are pleased to take communion out and / or to visit. We firmly believe that ministry is from all and to all, taking place both in the building and outside in the community.
Above all, we hope you will find us warm and welcoming.

2010 was the year in which we welcomed our new Rector and we started to develop further our work in the community. Our accounts again showed a deficit of £3007 and we underpaid on our Parish Share by £2000. At the same time we have embarked on another major conservation and restoration project. Please consider making an increase in your weekly giving or make a donation to us.
