For those new to the village, this is because our vicar has to take a service in each of the four parishes in the benefice on this day. Details of services are always displayed in the church porch, at the entrance to the churchyard and in the box in front of the Reading Room, as well as in the Parish Newsletter. A new service sheet, detailing services over the Christmas period and up to the end of February, is now available in the church and in the usual places. Please go in an collect one.

From the 4th November, for about 5 weeks, a contractor from the Vale will be repairing the collapsed wall between the churchyard and the Gould's garden. There will be a 'welfare unit' positioned in the church car park which will drastically reduce the space. They have promised to leave room for anyone to turn in Biddy and John's gateway. The churchyard is going to look a mess whilst the works are going on, but it is only for a small period of time. The Vale have promised that all will be cleared and tidied and left in decent order at the end of the works. The stake and rail fence will also be permanently removed once the works have completed, so I'm afraid all jokes about tethering horses will no longer apply!! It will be so good to get the work done at last - it has taken more than 5 years! |
