In the north-east corner of the church there is a small chapel of prayer, which can be used by anyone visiting the church seeking such a space. Within the chapel there is a prayer tree and visitors are invited to write their prayers and wishes on the labels provided and attach them to the tree. These are collected and the congregation prays for them during Sunday services.
