Welcome To Wick Chapel
Known locally as ‘the chapel’, this United
Reformed Church on the main A420 road from Bristol to Chippenham
has been a vital part of the village of Wick since it opened
in 1837, the year Queen Victoria came to the throne. In those
days, no thought was given to parking, of course, but on a Sunday
morning, anyone attending chapel is able to park in the Three
Shires Surgery car park opposite the chapel. We are very grateful
for this kind arrangement.
From the outside, the chapel is quite unassuming, somewhat
grey and perhaps, for that reason, uninviting. Inside, however,
it is bright and welcoming to anyone and everyone. You don’t
need to be a Christian or a ‘churchgoer’ to be welcome here,
and if you’re not sure quite what you believe, that doesn’t
matter at all. |

The entrance to
the sanctuary and the schoolroom is level and therefore accessible
to wheelchairs. There is an electric stairlift providing access
to the toilets, but we are currently looking into installing
an accessible toilet on the same level as the sanctuary. We
now have Wifi in the chapel and are in the process of improving
our audiovisual facilities – please bear with us while we work
out how to go about this.
