About the Event
Built in 1840, the church has a nave, two aisles and chancel. Its notable antiquity is the pulpit, a fine piece of wood carving, transferred from the old church (c1608). Present access is via a steep stone stairway with seven treads - unfortunately this limits access for visitors and congregation members who find the stairway difficult or impossible to negotiate safely.
Some years ago, a simple electric wheelchair lift was installed in an adjacent narrow stair access; this is no longer safe or fit for purpose.
St Michael’s is a pivotal focus for many aspects of village events including the Broadway Bi-annual Arts Festival (June 2024). The church is a place of contemplation, quiet and celebration for all when needed. It is vital that a new lift is installed, that is safe and accessible to enable restricted mobility access.
The PCCdecided to launch a lift appeal. - St Michael's Church Lift Appeal - Give A Little
