Heslington Church
Heslington Church (or 'Hes', as it's popularly known) stands neatly between the East and West Campus, opposite Heslington Hall, and serves the University and the village of Heslington. However, Heslington Church is no ordinary church! Not only is it an excellent venue (including a kitchen, library, and comfortable meeting rooms) but Heslington Church is also what's known as a Local Ecumenical Partnership. Anglicans and Methodists joined forces many years ago and now share all work and worship in common. John is based here as the Methodist Minister, and Catherine is also involved in worship.
There is a church-sharing agreement between Hes. Church and the Roman Catholic Chaplaincy which uses Hes on Sundays at 1.00pm for Mass as well as other feast days.
All staff and students at the University are welcome to attend and to use Heslington Church (it's often used for meetings, music practice and socials). Rooms need to be booked and enquiries should be made through the chaplains or the church office (412300). The church office is open on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and you are welcome to drop in to say hello. Once a booking is made arranging the collection of a key on or off campus is easy.
