Prayer

From the Rector:
“David Franklin, the Curate, and I say Morning Prayer in church on most weekday mornings at 9.15 am . You are very welcome to join us at church. If you can’t join us in person, but would like to pray with the wider church, why not use the Church of England’s daily prayer feed see below left.”

Visiting St. Martin's
During the out of season months, the church can usually be visited on Wednesday and Thursday mornings between 9.45 a.m. and about 11.45 a.m. (please respect the communion service that takes place in the chapel on Wednesdays between 10.30 and 11.15 am). On Thursday mornings you are likely to meet our band of our valued volunteer cleaners.

(From Palm Sunday until the end of September, St Martin's is open to visitors from 10.30 am until 3.00 pm*, seven days a week, subject to services which may be held from time to time.)

On your visit to the Lakes why not spend half an hour enjoying the peace and beauty of this ancient building as part of your visit to our community.

The churchyard is always open to visitors and includes the listed gravestone of Rasselas Belfield (at the east end of the church) which is one of English Heritage's Sites of Memory. Ironically a tombstone at the West end of the church commemorates John Bolton the owner of Storrs Hall and a local benefactor much of whose wealth was founded on the "triangular trade".

We are also on the Blackwell Arts & Crafts trail.

* Our church is kept open by volunteers, and occasionally may need to be closed during these hours if volunteers are not available
