Castle Church is a Grade
2* listed building,
the tower dates back to the 14th century but the main building was
rebuilt in by George Scott in 1854. The North aisle was added in
1898 with the vestry being added in 1912. The majority of the windows
are stained glass. There are two bells which are inoperable at present.
The church is floodlit when funding permits.
We have a fairly large car park across the road
about 50 metres from the church door with ample space
for disabled access. Ramps and toilets for the disabled are
available in church and at the Church Hall.
We have two church halls both capable of holding
over 120 people with good kitchen facilities and toilets. They
are both available for hire.
Inside, the church is well lit and a 'loop'
system is fitted to amplify
hearing aids. Audio/visual aids are used particularly at the 9.15 Family
Service. We have large print hymn books for those who need them as
well as printing some of the 'order of service'
pages on large A3 size paper for the 6.30 pm service
Services have
musical accompaniment by Electric Organ or modern music group at
the 9.15 Family Service. We have an accomplished and dedicated choir.
Children
are welcome and well catered for with a 'safe' area at the back of
church with toys for the little ones. Groups
are staffed by trained leaders who are CRB checked and work within
the guideline of the Church's 'Safe From Harm' Policy.Visitors
to all our services are also made very welcome and they are invited
to join us, if they wish, for a cup of tea or coffe after the 9.15am
and the 6.30pm services.
