As a celebration for the Coronation, the knitters at Etherley were very busy. The Church was decorated with a golden carriage and 2 horses, the door had the Cipher of the new King, and other associated embellishments were put around the Church entrance.

The Chapel and Schoolroom are ideal venues to hire for Conferences, Meetings etc, with adaptable space, modern kitchen facilities and audio and visual equipment.

Groups currently using these facilities are Tai Chi (every Thursday morning) which is recommended by medical experts to assist health & well-being, a Cinema Club (usually 2nd Wednesday evening in each month) and the Wear Valley Photography Club. New members are always welcome at these events.
