Denby Church

One of the oldest churches in the UK.

Coronavirus (Covid 19)

Plans have been agreed to progressively re-start services in the five churches in the Denby Group of Churches (St Mary's, Denby; St Clement's, Horsley; St Susanna's, Horsley Woodhouse; St James' Codnor and St Luke's, Loscoe).

The safety arrangements will comply with the guidance from the Government, the Church of England (CofE) and the Bishop of Derby, the key requiremnents of which are as follows:

• 2 metre social distancing  - this presents a limit on the number of people who can attend St Mary's church and will require a booking system to be operated.
• Everyone is now asked to wear a face covering, unless exemptions apply.
• The CofE guidance states that “those at extra risk (over 70 years of age) and the ‘clinically extremely vulnerable’ should be advised of the risks of attending public worship, but the decision to do so is theirs alone.”
• A record of people attending and their contact details is to be kept for 21 days to assist the “Track and Trace” process.

Full details of the plans for services during November and December and how to book a place are available here.
