Welcome to our website and we very much hope to have the pleasure, to welcome you through the doors of our church and yours – “The Church By The Bridge” – very soon.  Use this link to drop a line.

We have been open to our congregation and visitors for well over 280 years and as a church we have had a long and treasured association with our local community.    

WHURC wants to spread the message and love of Christ and the Christian way of life, to serve people in the community, to offer a place of worship and a safe space for everyone. 

We offer support, prayer, companionship and empathy during tough times; and to celebrate with you at special moments in your lives.
