Building: Rooms Available to Rent

Our church has gone through many changes throughout the years. Unusually the church now occupies what would have been the balcony of the old layout, and is therefore upstairs. The downstairs having been converted into a hall and kitchen area. The church is accessible via stairs or a lift to the left of the entrance porch. In addition to these rooms, we have several other rooms which are let to various groups throughout the week. For enquiries about booking a room please contact the room booking secretary, see the contacts pages.

 


The Church Interior - Upstairs

 

Church Looking to the Altar Area from Entrance

The Church (Prices from £39.20)

Obviously the main use of the church is for our own worship, it is a large space (approx 40ft sq). In addition to our worship activities t is also used for our musical festival and for concerts and other events during the year.

The church is designed like an ampitheatre. This view looks torwards the altar area.

Church Front From the Entrance

Hidden behind the curtain is our projector screen, which has now been moved to the left to make space for the worship group and grand piano. The communion rail is removable to allow for more flexible worship styles and stows away under the staging. The lecturn, altar and font are readily moved for concerts and drama etc.

Looking back the other way, you can see the entrance (leading from the stairs below)
