Beautiful church! Shame its Catholic! I was visiting family baptism. I appreciated the Reverend explaining the reasons for everything he did, at the service! I go to a United Reformed Church, but its more modern. This church is old, and has lovely atmosphere.

Great Christmas service, lovely choir singing. The priest was very well versed and had a lovely sermon. Had a brief weird with him about his visits to the Vatican which was fascinating.
