The postcode is not very helpful but the W3W above is accurate. The driveway from the road to the church is a winding 200m, starting at the junction of Doster’s Lane, The Street and Church Hill. There are two pillars, a blue sign for the church is on the left and a 5mph sign is on the right pillar.
