St Batholomew's Church, Ingham

   

 

St Bartholomew’s Church, Ingham:

Welcome to St Bartholomew’s Church, which is used as both a place of worship and a Community Centre. The tower is older than the rest of the church walling and dates from the middle of the 14th  century. The interior of the church was remodelled in 1861 and in 1986 the Victorian pews and pulpit were removed and the nave is now used much as it was before the Reformation. A kitchen and toilet were added in 1989. Holy Communion is celebrated on the 2nd and 4th  Sunday of each month at 11 am in the chancel. There is a special service for young families on the first Sunday of each month at 11 am in the nave. A pre-school age activity time takes place at 2pm on the 2nd Tuesday of each month and a coffee morning on the last Tuesday of each month, 1O.3Oam-12 noon. There is plenty of parking space for visitors in the churchyard on the north side of the church

Village activities take place as advertised
