Notice reads :- "Our Church is unfortunately without its roof at the moment, following a theft of the lead. 

There will therefore sadly be no Christmas service there this year. 

We do however intend to have a service on Sunday, 5th April 2020 to celebrate Easter, when hopefully the weather will be better"
