St. Chad's
The St. Chad's Building is now closed for public worship.
St. Chad's
building
St Chad's Church, 'the jewel of the Vale', lies in the secluded and peaceful setting of historic Pleasley Vale
Set as it is next to the River Meden, often the only sounds you hear are the birds and the river bubbling by, making it the perfect place for a refreshing and energizing retreat
​
In good weather (or bring your wellies) there is direct access to the foot path that runs alongside the River Meden
​
The building is welcoming and fascinating. Reflecting its history the whole inside is wooden clad. There are Stations of the Cross around the walls of the Nave and at the east end there is a colourful, ornately hand painted Sanctuary
St. Chad's heading into the future
The inside of St Chad's is Clad in wood and unfortunately has an infestation of woodworm, making it potentially unsafe. The roof is also in need of extensive work as well as rot in some of the interior wood.
The plan is for the building to be stabilised and restored. It will then be able to operate as a community space run by a locally based community charity, Friends of St Chads Pleasley Vale. This will ensure its survival as a precious community asset into the future.
Fundraising is taking place for St. Chad's
