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 by the whole village community. 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 coffee morning takes place 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

NEW November 2009 - A group for preschool children, babies, parents, grandparents and carers meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 2pm for stories, play, prayer and refreshments.

People from outside the village are always welcome to this and any of the other activities.
