We are a friendly group of people worshipping in a beautiful Chruch building which was built in 1958.
Its history goes back to the 12th Century, but it suffered a firect hitduring World War 2 in Setpember 1940, and the whole building was destroyed. It was lovingly restorede, and now has modern facilities and even free wi-fi!
We have a mixture of traditional and more modern services, and also enjoy getting together for fellowship and Bible study.
Visitors and new members are always made very welcome. We look forward to seeing you!
