We will shortly carry out essential work in the Garden of Remembrance and the wider churchyard.

To help us do this respectfully, we kindly ask that any items placed in either the Garden of Remembrance or the churchyard without prior permission be removed by their families within 30 days of 04.05.26. This helps us keep these spaces safe, tidy, and consistent with the guidelines that ensure everyone’s memorials are cared for equally.

Any items that remain once this work begins will be carefully removed and stored for three months so that families have the opportunity to collect them.

We also kindly remind everyone that all memorials and items placed in the churchyard must comply with the Churchyard Regulations. A copy of these regulations is available to view in the church or on the Diocese of Blackburn website.

If you have any concerns, don't hesitate to get in touch with Revd Stephen Martin on 01772 335310 or speak to the Churchwardens.
