Remembrance Sunday Service 2021 - Supporting the Work of St Mary's Church

We would like to say a big thank you to all the young people and their leaders who made our Remembrance Service on Sunday so special.

It was truly wonderful to see our church full to overflowing.

And thank you to whoever put a donation through our treasurer's letterbox.

Someone mentioned people would have liked the opportunity to support the work of the church. All gifts are gratefully received.

Our church is more than just the building it is the people who are the church. But having said that the church building is an important part of our village. Keeping this ancient building standing is no small feat!
