The parish occupies the south east of the city, and includes about one third of the historic centre - the other thirds being the Cathedral itself, and the parish of St Thomas with St Edmund. The parish today is a mixture of old city, urban priority, comfortable suburb and water meadows. Click here to find us.
There has been a place of worship on the site for well over 1000 years. The chancel of the present church antedates the Cathedral by about 50 years; the nave was arcaded in the 15th century and the north and south aisles added. It is spacious, light and generally in good repair.
A re-ordering of the Sanctuary in 2006 included a new award-winning altar.
In 2011 the front porch and North entrance was beautifully re-ordered to include a glass domed roof with parish office rooms and toilet with wheelchair access and baby changing facilities.

A PRAYER FOR OUR PARISH
Almighty God, you have made us members of Christ and of his Church in this parish. May we as a congregation reach upwards to your throne in worship and adoration: inwards to one another in understanding and fellowship; and outwards to the world in evangelism and social compassion. Make us like a city set on a hill whose light cannot be hidden, so that men and women may find Christ as the Light of the World, and his Church as the family of the redeemed, and eternal life as the gift of God, through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen. |
