Travelling from Junction 12 of the M4 - go about 2 miles east along the A4 (Bath Road) towards Reading.  After passing the golf course, the speed limit drops from 40 mph to 30 mph.  At the next traffic lights, turn left into Hogarth Avenue, which becomes New Lane Hill.  There are numerous speed bumps all the way up the hill to the church.

Travelling from the centre of Reading - head out along the A4 (Bath Road) for about two and a half miles.  After passing the junction with the Burghfield Road, turn right at the next traffic lights into Hogarth Avenue, which becomes New Lane Hill.

Parking

There is some on-street parking outside the church in New Lane Hill.  Routh Lane has more parking spaces, however, and there is less traffic as it's not a through road.  To access the parking in Routh Lane you must enter from its junction with New Lane Hill.  The grass verge all around the churchyard wall is part of the church's property.
