- Old Vicarage Building Project
Work is now well underway to improve disabled access and toilet facilities and to provide a more welcoming lobby area to the Old Vicarage. This building, which houses the church office, as well as being the hub of many church and community activities, will be out of action until the beginning of October. During construction work, the office has been relocated to a temporary cabin in the church car park and all other activities will run in either the halls or the church.
Access arrangements for both the church and the halls have changed as a result. Please call the church during office hours to find out what these new arrangement are if you will need access out of office hours.
The work is scheduled to finish by the beginning of October.
