History Talk and AGM

Last year's talk was given by Revd. Chris Shipley and covered the meaning and content of the Te Deum window above the altar and mentioned St. Spiridon, who appears in it. 

This year’s talk will be specifically about St. Spiridon, who also appears in a wall painting, dated from the 13th century above the south aisle of the church.

The talk will again be given by Revd. Chris Shipley on Thursday, October 19th, from 7:00pm in the church - all are welcome, and there is no charge.
