Our Churchyards Are Always Open
We are very fortunate to have two beautiful churchyards in our parish. They provide areas where you can wander around and admire the flowers, birds, butterflies and other insects that inhabit these spaces. Or you can sit on one of the benches that are available and enjoy some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of life.
Please feel free to visit our churchyards.
