People have worshipped on the site of St Michael’s since before the Norman Conquest. Parts of the present building date from the 11th century. You can find out more about the history of the area and of the church from the Cumnor Parish Record website.
A typical morning service begins at 11.00 am. Usually, about 100 adults and children come each week. The younger people dip in and out of the main service, for activities of their own. After the service, everyone is welcome to meet for coffee and other refreshments.
There is a loop system for the hearing-impaired. The atmosphere is warm and friendly with a fairly traditional style of worship.
