A staff member was quite overbearing and bossy, which was strange compared to other churches where they usually stay out of the way. Instead, they were constantly moving around, even blocking the bride’s entrance and repeatedly standing in front of the photographer despite having no reason to. I also had an issue with how my bag was handled. I’d placed it on the floor, against a wall under a small table in an outer aisle, where it wasn’t in anyone’s way. A staff member silently took it, moved it to the back. when I went to collect it, its was upside down on the floor. they gave no explanation — instead, they looked at my cousin and rolled their eyes.

A Grade 2 listed building, built close to a natural spring. Can't review the interior as it was locked shut. All the stained glass windows had protective coverings over, thus implying that there has been a vandalism problem in these parts.

Attended my cousins service here and they were brilliant at providing an age appropriate service for her and letting our family play her music. Definitely the first time I've heard Beyonce at a church funeral.

Great church in a nice setting overlooking woodland at the rear, inside is light and bright and it must be one of the warmest churches around.
