WHERE TO FIND US
The church has been on its present site in School Lane since 1932, replacing the Silver Street church. In 1983 internal alterations transformed the building into a multi functional facility where it is used most days of the week. There are no parking facilities but a public car park can be used by taking the first right hand turn in School Lane (a one way street). PARKING IS FREE ON SUNDAYS.
The Weekly Notices can now be found on the Church Notices' page.
