The distance from the square to the church is approximately 200 yards. Parking for disabled persons may be available nearer to the church by prior arrangement. Further parking can be made available by prior arrangement in the village recreation ground.
Flowers
Whether you are arranging the flowers for your ceremony yourself or using the services of a florist, please discuss your plans with our local warden who will be happy to advise you. This discussion should take place soon after you book the date for your wedding so that alterations can be made to our flower rota if need be.
Although there is a water butt in the churchyard (around the corner and down some steps to the left of the porch), there is no running water, so you may wish to supply your own fresh water for your floral arrangements.
Please aim to leave at minimum one floral arrangement at the altar after your ceremony for services the following week. Any floral decorations outside of the church which required a ladder to install should be removed by you or someone appointed by you sometime before the following Saturday.
Please see the notes posted in the church porch about the safe use of a ladder.
Facilities
There are no toilets available at the church or in the village.
