The churchyard has two separate entrances, the main one of which has a lych-gate. All the pathways have a good tarmac surface; the grass is mown regularly and kept short.

The entire churchyard is continually maintained to provide a tranquil resting place as well as the church itself being a happy place for weddings and baptisms.
Interior
Interior Description
Entrance to the church is through the north door where a light automatically comes on to show people the way in. Hymn and prayer books are kept near to the entrance door. The church has recently had a new heating system installed, which heats the building to a warm level in cold weather within a two-hour period. The organ has also been improved to bring it up to the required standard for the requirements of the church and the organist. A new silent flushing toilet has been installed together with a sink area and a hot water system. The interior lighting has been replaced resulting in far better light levels in the church and also being more environmentally friendly. These additions have proved to be a great success and are much appreciated by both parishioners and visitors.
