Directions

Martin Heath Hall is the church hall for Christ Church, Lichfield and lies about 1 km (½ mile) west of the city centre, the bus station and Lichfield City railway station.

From the large traffic island on the A51, at the junction of the Western Bypass, The Friary and Friary Road (the ‘Bowling Green’ roundabout) take the exit signed Leamonsley onto Friary Road, leading to Walsall Road.  After about 150 metres there is a pedestrian crossing with lights and the road bends to the left.  Just after the bend turn right into the narrow entrance to Christchurch Lane.  Follow the lane past the church and where it turns left the entrance to Martin Heath Hall is on the right.  There is car parking to the rear of the hall.

If approaching from the Cannock, Burntwood or Walsall direction, turn left off Walsall Road into the other end of Christchurch Lane.  Follow this down to the bend and turn left into the hall.

Events

Waterway underfunding

Hundreds of miles of waterways – along with their unique heritage and habitats – are currently starved of funding and rely on constant lobbying by us to safeguard their future.

Sustainable Boating

We want boating on canals and rivers to be more sustainable and – even though the current overall contribution to UK carbon emissions is very small – we want to help reduce emissions on the waterways.

Waterways Heritage at Risk

Britain’s canals and rivers are a unique, living heritage. But that heritage is at risk – from urban development, lack of protection, loss of skills and knowledge and climate change.

You can help Save Waterways Heritage.

Waterway restoration

Restoring the UK’s blue infrastructure – our inherited network of navigable canals and rivers – is good for people and places.
