Busbridge Church reordering Phase 2: sound and vision etc. — While work is underway, the church will be closed until Friday 13 March. As the work has generated even more dust than anticipated, (and the clean up for each Sunday is impractical) Sunday services have also been moved to the Old Rectory for the next two weeks. Please check the web site or call the office to check venue changes for events in church.
