Beautiful. With "kitchen, office and meeting" facilities, it sounds as if this lovely church is a place of activity and is used for other things besides Worship, , which is so much better than it being closed up and left empty of life and people, as so many churches are. That is good to know,

i rewired that church 50 years ago but frightening going under the floorboards and doing clockface lighting

I'm a regular visitor to Toms pay as you feel pantry at St James.

A good clear photo of the inside, the Church itself is lovely.

Looks very bright and peaceful. Have not been in this church since I was 8 years old and it was my local whereupon we moved house. That is almost 60 years ago so the photo brought back distant memories. Thanks Andrew.

My parents were married in that church in the early 1930's. After they passed away in the 1980's I had the vicar bury their ashes in the church garden.
Naturally, I have special feelings for that church. Thank you for letting me see it, Andrew.

Beautiful old church, there’s no comparison in modern churches. The atmosphere is different. It must be well attended to have work done to provide more facilities for attendees.
