Story

The last big project at St Catherines wasn the raising of the ringing floor and installation of toilet and small kitchen which was completed in 2010. This extra facility has enabled the church to be a venue for many events. The church can be re-arranged in minutes. Meetings, concerts, meals, and fundraising events are held regularly. The church has also seen a weekend conference for a Youth Group. We are now in the process of installing a glass screen to create a separate meeting room / side chapel.

The church, which is kept open all day, is dedicated to St. Lawrence. In the earliest days it belonged to St. Oswold’s Priory in Gloucester, from which a chaplain was sent out to minister to the people. The present building is partly 14th century, but was mainly rebuilt in 1858. The belfry holds a ring of 8 bells. A team regularly ring for the main services, and also for special occasions. In 1996 a churchyard survey was carried out, when all memorials and their inscriptions were recorded, a copy of this is in the church and a map and index of names are on the back of the notice board in the car park. This was updated in 2017 and a complete index of names is kept in the church.
