We are in the process of updating our Church Electoral Roll; this happens annually but every 6 years we must start again from scratch and 2025 is one such year.  Those of you on the 2024 Electoral Roll have received a letter from me asking you whether you wish to continue, and your responses are coming in – thankyou. If anyone else would like to sign up, please get in in touch with me – I have attached the application form so you can see what is required.

We are grinding our way through the process of gaining permission from the Diocese (“a faculty”) to remove the organ in St Mary’s and restore the pews that occupied the space until 2021.  The organ has been assessed as useful only for scrap and we are continuing to pursue how best to provide music in the church in the future.  In respect of removing the organ we are in the final consultation period which lasts until 10 February – if you have any objections you can write to the address on the two public notices which are displayed at the church.
