Future Developments

The church has no water supply and therefore no toilets or kitchen facilities. The Vestry is hard at work planning for the future so that the church can be alive and active in the community in the 21st century. Planning Permission has been granted to build a hall with the necessary facilities adjacent to the church, for which major funding will be required. This is an ambitious and, at times, daunting task. Nevertheless, we firmly believe that a church must be a living, active, outgoing community if it is to achieve its potential either as the site of God’s life in the world or as the continuation of a piece of historic architecture. The latter is not served by maintaining an empty fossilised relic of times past. We are convinced that the new hall is an essential part of our future community.
