The final section of the internal scaffold is now up, ready for the contractors to undertake the important conservation work at the west end of the church over the ensuing weeks. We are working closely with all parties, in the hope the scaffold will be down and the west end restored in time for Easter. No promises at this stage but we do remain optimistic.
Many thanks for all the contributions and for your patience during the time of upheaval.
Every six years a completely new Electoral Roll for the Ecclesiastical (Church of England) Parish has to be prepared. 2019 is a year for the preparation. The Parish’s electoral roll starts again from scratch, meaning that everyone who wishes to be on the roll needs to apply/re-apply. The old lists of electors are redundant.
The electoral roll acts as a “membership list” for churchgoers in the parish, and gives entitlement to vote at the Annual Parochial Council Meeting, (APCM), or stand for office as a Churchwarden or as a PCC member.
The forms are at the back of church. The forms must be returned to the Electoral Roll Officer (Judith Black) by the 31st March 2019. Once completed these can be given to Judith, Reverend Ali or any of the Churchwardens.
The service this year has been written by Christian women of Slovenia and is entitled ‘Come – Everything is Ready’. It will take place at 2:00pm on Friday 1st March in the Methodist Church. Please join us, it promises to be a challenging but beautiful service.
For over 900 years the tower of St. Mary’s Parish Church has magnificently adorned our skyline. This wonderful medieval building, with all its history, is at the very centre of our community. It has reached out to previous generations and, with your help, will continue to do so for generations to come.
The age of the building and its remorseless exposure to the ever-changing British weather has brought with it an important conservation need. Some of the external high level louvred belfry windows and some internal stonework are now in urgent need of repair.
We really do need your help.
