Renewal Christian Centre

The present owners, Wroxall Abbey Estates, re-established worship in the Church and renamed it Wren’s Chapel in memory of its former illustrious owner.

Unfortunately the Church of England were unable to provide ministry, therefore the Renewal Christian Centre, a large multinational Free Methodist Church in Solihull, agreed to provide ordained ministers to continue the Christian witness in South of Warwickshire in conjunction with the other Churches in the area.

Although the present ministers belong to the Free Methodist Church denomination, Wren’s Chapel is registered for public worship and the conducting of Christian marriages as an independent congregation. As far back as 1141 the Church has been known as a ‘Church of Ease’ meaning that it drew its congregation from beyond the parish boundaries. Today its congregation on a typical Sunday afternoon consists of people from Warwickshire and the surrounding area and further a field including Solihull together with those wishing to marry or have been married in the Church. Still others while belonging to a different Church enjoy coming to the simple Sunday service before going to their own place of worship.
