Music at the Heart of Worship
The choir, under the direction of John Wardle, leads the congregation in hymns, psalms, and choral settings that bring depth and vitality to the liturgy.
They sing regularly at the Sunday Eucharist Service at 10.45 am, as well as at festivals and special occasions in the church calendar such as saints' days, Passiontide, Easter, and Christmas. The choir also leads Choral Evensong on the fourth Sunday of the month at 6.00 pm, with music ranging from well-loved hymns to both classical and contemporary sacred works. The organ plays a steady role in this tradition, supporting the choir and congregation.
The choir has sung in many churches and cathedrals, including a successful tour to Ripon Cathedral in August 2025.
If you are a singer who would like to be part of this church choir, we would love to hear from you. Young singers are especially encouraged to apply for the choral scholarship. Please contact John Wardle, john.wardle@btinternet.com or phone 01572 829923
