The church does have the kind agreement of the landlords for our visitors to use the car park at the George Hogg, which is very close to the church, in Market Street [postcode DN15 9PT]. If you do use this car park please take the opportunity to call in for a drink or meal. The George Hogg is privately owned and is open most days from 9am but not Mondays and Tuesdays when it opens later and you may find the gates to the car park closed. It is easiest to approach the George Hogg car park from High Street towards Market Street.
