New Sheringham site for New Wine church
2014 - The New Wine Church in North Norfolk has acquired a new wineskin, but much work is required before they can move in, and planning is underway. Tony Rothe reports.
The church recently purchased the former
Sheringham Social Club premises at the corner of
Holway Road and
Cromer Road, Sheringham. This will provide a regular meeting place for the church, as well as a base to expand the work the church is involved in, serving the local community.
Renovation and conversion work will be required before the opening of the building in
late 2014 / early 2015. Design work is being carried out by Norwich consultants;
Barron + Smith Architects, together with
Robson Liddle Structural Engineers. Both companies operate nationally from a number of studios across England and are part of the
NPS Group.
New Wine Church started as a small group of people meeting in Sheringham fifteen years ago. The church met in function rooms and then Sheringham Community Centre. Currently, around
150 people from Cromer, Holt, Sheringham and the surrounding villages currently meet in
Sheringham Primary School.
Twelve years ago, New Wine Church purchased
Lushers Bakery premises in
Sheringham High Street, and converted this to provide a centre for
Yesu, a project which serves the local community. Today, Yesu is serving in
Cromer, Sheringham, Holt and
Melton Constable.
Richard Allen, one of the leaders of
New Wine Church, commented:
“
We are very excited about this new building, which will not just provide us with a place to meet on a Sunday but will also give us additional facilities to continue and expand the work of Yesu enabling us to make a greater contribution towards serving the local community.”
