Auditory Needs

St Marys has a hearing loop and the use of microphones is standard practice for services

Visual Needs

Large Text Service sheets and Hymn books are available for services. Please ask your welcomer for a copy if required.

St Marys has recently installed a comprehensive LED based lighting system covering the whole church.

Physical and Mobility Needs

Step Free and wheelchair access is available through the West porch although the floor surface is uneven in places.

Access to the pews is by a small step.

Space for wheelchairs during services is limited, particularly during weddings and funerals, and you may be asked to be seated in the Social Area at the rear of the Church. Full visual and auditory access is available from this area.

Ramp access is available at the Altar and the Social Area.

We are working on providing a clear space within the main body of the Church to improve facilities for Wheelchair users,

A single Toilet is available in the Meeting Room which is located at the East end of the Church to the left of the Altar and behind the organ (it’s probably best to ask a welcomer to show you the way!).

Neurodiversity and cognitive needs

Service sheets and sermons

Service sheets are available in Arial font, in black text on off white paper. Please let us know if a coloured background would be useful for you, we are happy to produce them on request.​

We are working on visual timetables to accompany service sheets. To help us prioritise, please lets us know if this useful for you.
