    ** As you enter you will see posters explaining the safe usage of the space. We have done what we can to minimise risks, please help us to do that by following the simple instructions. Use the provided hand sanitiser, keep social distancing rules, and if you sit in a pew then please turn over the sheet in that place to indicate where our cleaners should focus their efforts.  We've prepared a short video to set out what you can expect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhVtKTRaLDI.
