Arriving by carIf you want to find the Holy Rood Church building using a satnav, you may like to know the Church Building's postcode is: BH20 6DD Bear in mind the church building is a very bad choice for addressing any letters: do use the Vicarage postcode BH20 6EB (see Who's Who page) instead for correspondence.
Parking and pedestrian access1. Lulworth Road entrance (beside Wool Primary school):NB - Dogs are not permitted on the school grounds. We are allowed to park in the school staff car park on Sundays when the school is closed. The school staff car park is accessed by a separate entrance to the school, also on the left heading towards Lulworth, a few metres on after the main double gates to Wool Primary School. (The double gates themselves are kept locked - see below.) From the staff car park, leave down the flight of stairs and enter the school grounds by the pedestrian gate beside the locked double gates. Go down the school drive beside the school. At the end walk right onto the path leading to the church. 2. On street parkingOn street parking is difficult. There is some, but it all involves a walk up Church Lane. The area in this part of Wool is a conservation area with narrow lanes not designed for cars. Church Lane is a cul-de-sac with no pavements and with blind corners. Please don't use the very limited parking (3 cars in front of the church in Church Lane - but see below) - it is reserved for use by those with restricted mobility. Wherever you park, please be considerate to residents who have to get in and out of their drives in their vehicles.
Disabled accessWe currently have some difficulty providing disabled access to our ancient church building, but it is possible, with care, as follows. Lulworth Road entrance (beside Wool Primary school):
Church Lane entrances (best avoided by wheelchair users)
Services with car parking and level disabled accessRemember we have two Wednesday morning Communion services a month, held at the main D'Urberville Hall in Colliers Lane (see the Services pages). This venue has a safer disabled access and usually has much easier parking. (It also features coffee and cake after the services!) ToiletsThere are lavatory facilities (with disabled access) in Holy Rood Churchyard. The toilet is located beside the store on the south west side of the main church building. (It is usually left unlocked during services or else can be unlocked by the duty sidesperson or verger on request.)
Hearing impairmentWe have a sound system with a hearing loop. Hearing aid users may wish to use the T setting.
