The church is open Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. for anyone to find a quiet place to pray, to visit or look around.

Please see the Contact page for the church’s location and how to get here.

Tower Tours are available from Easter until Remembrance each year, and normally run on Fridays and Saturdays at 2.30 p.m. for an hour.
There may not be a tour if a service (e.g. a funeral or wedding) or other event is taking place in the church.
Please note that if the peregrines are breeding it will not be possible to go outside at the top of the tower – this is usually the case up to July each year.
