A very warm and welcoming church. Every visitor is special and made very welcome at services by the door welcomes. Andrew the vicar is very warm and makes all feel at ease. His services are always an excellent mix of solemnity and fun in equal measure. They have a large adjoining hall which is well used by a variety of different community groups every week.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
