Physical Access to the Church

For Sunday services there is wheelchair access to the church via a ramp at the side door. For all other services this access is by arrangement – please contact the Parish Office

There are disabled toilet facilities provided at the rear of the church (to the left of the doors as you look out of the church). There are no steps within the main body of the church.

The church is fitted with a Hearing Loop system for those with hearing difficulties.
