In 1790 a Congregational Chapel was founded and continued in being until 1972 when the Congregational Church joined with the Presbyterian Church to form the United Reformed Church (URC)  Approximately 150 yards away a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel opened its doors for worship in October 1878.  In 1902, a larger church was built adjacent to the original one which then became the present church hall.

From 1968 onwards, the two churches grew gradually together, sharing the worship occasionally and working together.  Under the sensitive leadership of the ministers of that time, the two church families finally merged to become the United Church of St. Aldhelm’s in 1984. 

In 2009 the Worship area was extensively refurbished and the finished building retains a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere with an added flexibility of use and modern technology. There is a hall and other meeting rooms and the entire church is available for hire.  A warm welcome is given to our regular charitable users and all who come to the church for Worship.

The church is also of course available for all your spiritual needs from Weddings, christenings and funerals and for more details of these please contact the minister.

In a world of busyness and stress we seek to offer a sanctuary of peace and hope through our worship, our welcome and our offers of practical help. We are an inclusive fellowship where all are welcome and everyone is given a seat and a voice.
