Located in a working apple orchard St Margaret's is a small welcoming church. We are a congregation who enjoy a combination of tradition and new ideas through our Book of Common Prayer Service and monthly Family Service with children's activities. We enjoy welcoming new people and you will always find a friendly welcome at St Margaret's.
The area around Corse has a significant history with the Chartist Movement and St Margaret's hosts an excellent display (supported through the Heritage Lottery Fund) that can tell you about the development of the Chartist movement and its affect on our local area and architecture.
When visiting St Margaret's you have to keep following the road until you reach the church! It may look as though the road takes you into an apple orchard but keep going because we're just around the corner.
