The church plays an active part in the local community, taking part in village events. Social events include coffee mornings, cream teas and Harvest thanksgiving. There are also regular get-togethers to tidy up the churchyard.

There is a ramp so the church is accessible for those in wheelchairs but the only parking is in nearby residential roads. The church is on the main road through the village set in a beautiful churchyard with a seat on the south side.
