A little about the village and church
The village of Broadway is situated at the northern end of the Cotswold Hills, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is a very popular tourist centre with visitors every day of the year. The main High Street in the lower part of the village is dominated by commercial outlets, with a high proportion of antique, clothes and gift shops. The attractive village green is used for a variety of village events. The population of just over 3000 live in houses in the multi-million pound range to council houses on a housing estate. There are several large retirement homes, which means that there are a high proportion of elderly people in the village.
The church is situated at the upper end of the High Street, a short way up the road that used to lead out of the village. This is largely residential with a wide variety of the honey coloured stone houses that characterise this village. The building is set back from the road, stone built, with a hall at the rear. There is new access for the less mobile to both church and hall and the church has a loop system for those with hearing aids. There is also a toilet for the less mobile.
The origins of this Church go back to Non-Conformist worship in 1792. It became a Congregational Church and then in 1972, when nationally that denomination joined with the Presbyterians, it became the United Reformed Church.
There are over 60 members and adherents and presently 40 members of the Pilots, our young peoples group.
