St Margaret’s is a lively rural church with a warmly welcoming and committed congregation.

Those who worship in the church are active members of the local community, and there is a strong sense of joint investment in our parish church. We offer a wide range of worship services and activities in the church and the village.

OUR CHURCH SERVICES

  • A Holy Communion Service in traditional language at 10.00am, the first Sunday of the month
  • A Worship for All Service on the second Sunday of the month at 10.00am, which is a more informal service including activities for children and families.
  • A Holy Communion Service in modern language at 10.00am, the third Sunday of the month
  • An Informal Worship Service on the fourth Sunday of the month at 10.00am.
