Our new weekday church can accommodate only half of our Sunday congregation, hence the need for a second and larger church on Sundays, with large enough hall and car park.

The building at our new Sunday location is a pre-Reformation church dating back to the 11th century. We thank the CoE parish council for allowing us to use their building, and Bishop Oakley of Northampton for granting us canonical “permission to celebrate the sacraments” by letter dated 5th July 2024. The site made available to us every Sunday consists of the church, a church car park for about 40 cars, the parish hall, and the hall car park for about 20 vehicles (priority to family vans).
