IT may already be steeped in history but Studley Parish Church is creating another landmark with the launch of a website.

The site has been in development for about eight months and has been designed by church member Emma Goldby.

By accessing the site, people will find an array of up-to-date information on church activities as well as a fascinating history of Studley itself and the Norman church.

Vicar the Rev Richard Deimel said: "This is a way of showing the church is part of the community. And of course, it's a good way of people accessing information quickly.

"The main thing is it will be kept up to date."

Information on church appeals, photographs and contacts for genealogy research are some of the other things on the site, which can be found at studleychurch.org.uk
