  • There is a small car park to the left of St Edmund’s Church to which we have access in the evenings and at weekends. However, during the week in term time this car park is used by the nearby school.

    Lawshall has plenty of onsite parking.

  • The steps up to the front of St Edmund’s will appear daunting to anyone who has mobility issues or to families with young children in buggies. However, there is an access ramp on the left hand side of the church, approached from the car park.

    The crypt also has an access ramp for those who would find the steps down too difficult.

    Lawshall church is mostly on a single level. However, being an old building, some of its flooring is a little uneven in places so care should be. taken.

  • Each of our churches has a toilet.

  • We can provide a gluten free host to be consecrated. Please advise the priest before Mass begins if you require this.
