All Saints, Wyke Regis
All Saints, Wyke Regis
A short trip through busy Weymouth to Wyke Regis. An impressive church on a hill. It is not the easiest place to park at but a motorbike has some advantages here! The sign outside gives details of Sunday services only but there is a good welcome in the porch. Inside, I found a guide and an interesting church which is very well cared for with nice shiny brass. A well loved place.
There is a display of church life and votive stand and pray tree for those who wish to pray. Some good children’s work is shown. Also a display about a link with Sudan. The blessed sacrament is reserved here.
There is an interesting memorial to John Wordsworth – Williams brother who perished, as so many have done down the years, in a shipwreck. He is buried in the churchyard somewhere with the other victims.
I rate All Saints as good. The website is at http://www.parishofwykeregis.org.uk with some good history on it
