A very welcoming, friendly place where people engage with you as soon as you step inside. Join in for a chat over a coffee and biscuits and sometimes lovely cakes after the services. Also look on website for drop in coffee mornings and other activities in the ajoining parish centre.

I remember sitting in that freezing cold church and being told that they drink yer blood in here. Mind you we were only 5 and had been parked there for a while from the school in front. Never trusted churches since. :-)
