An excerpt from the Church website relating to access to the church:
"Recent Access Improvements – 2014
Work to improve access for visitors and worshippers at the 12th century church of St Peter & St Paul Mottistone, has been funded by a legacy enabling the tiny resident community to continue to maintain this peaceful and beautiful church. The funding of £10k paid for planning and architect fees, a faculty to approve the works, all stonework and tarmacking. Previously the path was too narrow to accommodate a wheelchair, and the area in front of the main entrance of the church too small to allow for manoeuvring of a wheelchair. The only non-stepped entrance to the churchyard was via the North gate, and this meant exiting/entering from or onto the main road on a blind corner. Now the path enters from a new entrance on the West wall where parking is available; the path is wide enough to easily accommodate wheelchairs; the area in front of the church has been raised to eliminate a step-up to the porch area of the church and is now big enough to allow plenty of manoeuvring room or for groups of people to stand with ease. Because the church is Grade 2 listed, all works had to be strictly carried out in accordance with historic building regulations. There is further work which is to be completed, to include handrails on the South and East Entrances. The works have been aimed at improving access not only for the disabled, but also the less-able. Nigel Roberts sourced and recycled local stone to complement the existing walling."
