Booking Requests
Church House is open to the public, as a Heritage Centre on Sundays between May and September inclusive. The premises may also be booked for a variety of functions, during the whole year, either the ground floor, the first floor or the whole building for the morning, afternoon, evening or any contiguous combination of times.
If you wish to arrange a group Heritage Visit to Church House (Small or Large Groups Welcome), this can be arranged, with access and
a guided tour of St Andrews Church, if required. There is no charge for the visit or guided tour – we just hope you may want to stay for our delicious cream teas.
If you just would like to make an informal visit, outside of normal opening hours, it is often possible to open the building for this (if staff are available) by phoning 01837 849393.
The accommodation consists of a large first floor Hall (the old Feasting Hall), a smaller first floor Heritage Room with audio visual facilities, a ground floor large Hall (the medieval roasting/brewing area) and also on the ground floor, a modern Food Preparation area, a male toilet and a disability/female/baby changing toilet facility.
The ground floor has disability access via a ramp and a sound loop is installed. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the external granite steps, the first floor is not accessible for those with mobility problems. During the public opening times, a portable DVD player is available with video footage of the heritage sights on the first floor.
