History Tour

History and Bell Tower Tour

Our next Church History Tours will be on Saturday, 28th June at 10.30am and 2.30pm with a presentation from Jon Grant, local village historian about the history of St. Margaret's. This will be in The Orchard which is the splendid building at the bottom of the churchyard. This will be followed by tea, coffee and light refreshments. Revd. John Wates OBE, our Hon Curate will then take us around the church itself. There will also be an optional tour of the Bell Tower, with Jason Good and Ian Poole. You must be fit and able to climb the stairs to visit.

Tickets are £10 per person and there will also be an opportunity to purchase a copy of the signed limited editions of the the beautiful prints that were produced for the Millenium Appeal and Restoration of the West Door, by Helen Powlesland and a 1995 limited edition run of 200 reproduced from the water colour by Daphne Webster celebrating the 800th anniversary, kindly donated by the Friends of St Margaret’s. Both prints are signed by the artist and will be £10 each. All money raised will contribute towards church funds. If you would like attend please email our parish administrator.

Planning your Visit

Sunday Services

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at St Margaret’s Church for our Sunday Services . We usually have two services of differing styles on offer, Holy Communion will be celebrated at one of these services every week.

9am This is a traditional service using liturgy from Common Worship, usually with hymns
10.15am This is a more contemporay service with music led by our worship band, groups for children and young people and a longer sermon

We will hold a Unified service at 10am celebrating the best of both traditions. This will be for occasions such as Remembrance Sunday, Christmas Day, Easter Sunday, and our Patronal Festival. We will also come together as one church family when there is a 5th Sunday in the month.

In term time, children and young people start off in church at the 10.15am service and are invited to go to their groups although babies and children of all ages are welcome to stay in church at any time.
Contact our Youth and Community Leader for further details.

Coffee and tea is served after both services.

Accessibility: We have step-free access and a sound loop. There is an accessible toilet with baby changing facilities in both the church and the Orchard.
