St. Cyriac, Lacock, Wiltshire

St. Cyriac, Lacock

Lacock was busy today, even just after 10am. St. Cyriac’s must be one of the most visited churches outside London. Several people came in whilst I was there. A sign outside proclaimed to all that passed by that the church was open. It is well worth going in. There is a small bookstall and a range of Tim Tiley cards and booklets as well as church postcards for sale. There were 142 entries in the visitors book over the last 14 days. There is a nice ‘space’ picture from the Hubble Telescope with a link to Psalm 8 underneath it. A votive stand and prayer tree were there as well as a chapel set aside for prayer – this is what churches are for after all! This chapel has some good resources such as prayer ideas and a bible open as well as prayer books to use. There are quite a selection of the excellent LifeWords leaflets around as well.

The church website is at corshamandlacockchurches.org.uk and this has clear visitor information on it as well as plenty of other things – a good site.

All in all, a lot of thought has gone into ministering into St. Cyriac’s many visitors and I rate this as very good. It is also a church with a real prayerful atmosphere – this is often squeezed out in well visited churches. Well worth a look as the village of Lacock is as well.
