Other Details
The church is accessed up a little lane leading immediately off the traffic light crossroads, at the junction of the A350 Yarnbrook Road, with B3105 West Ashton Road and Bratton Road. For safety's sake, when exiting the lane, I always turn left into Bratton Road, and then turn around to approach this busy junction, if proceeding that way.
