Tomorrow between 5 and 7 Trick or Treaters can come and warm up at St Mary's Lychgate where we'll be running the Hot Choc Stop, serving hot cordial, hot chocolate and soul cakes. These are a traditional biscuit/scone traditionally made for Halloween, All Saints Day and All Souls Day, given in exchange for prayers or songs in an old medieval practice called 'souling' (though we're just giving them away and songs and prayers aren't mandatory!).The church will be open and children are welcome to come in and use the loos if they need to. ...

Our annual All Souls Service, in which we remember those who have died, is next Sunday (2nd Nov) at 5pm. During the service we will read out the names of those we love and see no longer, and there is an opportunity to light a candle, all accompanied by beautiful music from Faure's Requiem. Everybody is welcome, and if you would like a name to be read out, please do send a message to Revd Chris or add them to the list at the back of church. ... See MoreSee Less
