St. Michael the Archangel, Lyme Regis

St. Michael the Archangel, Lyme Regis

Lyme was very busy the day I visited. If coming by car the park and ride looks like a good idea. At least there is motorcycle parking at the sea front. However, there are some good fish and chips to be had here!

The church has a website at http://www.lymeregis-parishchurch.org/ but this doesn’t give any visitor information although a map and the postcode are shown. The sign outside gives service details only.

As soon as the visitor enters the church they find a magnificent font. A very friendly lady was arranging flowers around at when I visited.

There is plenty to see here. Post cards, bookmarks and ‘Word for Today’ are all available. A lovely children’s area features too.

27 people had signed the visitors book during July. A prayer book is available in the Lady Chapel and displays tell of Mary Anning and her work with fossils in Lyme Regis and there are displays of World War 1 and 2 which relate these conflicts to local people. These are all very well done. A ‘Soldiers Prayer’ had been copied out to take away as well as some of the sgm lifewords WW1 John’s gospels.

I rate St. Mary’s as very good. There is also some information on HMS Lyme Regis
