I visited this church, as I have moved and have not attended a church for a while. I found this church to have an atmosphere of the kind of church I've experienced before and has lovely stain glass windows and very much traditional service. You are able to light candles to your loved ones, and as church is perfect for weddings and christenings , as well as Carol concerts enough room for everyone.
