During the COVID19 outbreak our services have been suspended, but you can continue to worship with us live on the Holy Cross Facebook page at 10.30am every Sunday.

We are now opening for individual prayer on Wednesday afternoons between 2 and 3.30pm for those who would value the opportunity to spend some time in prayer in our beautiful church. We are conforming to the guidance from the government and the national Church of England, including spatial distancing, operating a one-way system and requiring people to sanitise their hands as they enter the church. While all are welcome in our church, for your own safety as well as that of others, if you are experiencing any symptoms associated with COVID19 please stay at home and take care of yourself.

Although the government has announced that public worship can resume after July 4th, there are lots of things to consider and put into place before we will be ready to start meeting together. 

Please watch this space for updates!
