The outgoing bus can be caught from the bus stop in front of the “Wagon and Horses”This is our much preferred form of arrival as the bus journey in follows exactly the route you would take in the car without the hassle of finding a parking space when you get hereIf you do drive, there is parking space at the west end of the Church for about 12 cars, and in a separate area to the rear of the almshouses for about 30 cars (drive up the Church driveway and turn right through a gap in the wall just past the rear of the Church Hall).
