John Moore's Quire Concert

for 2 hours, 30 mins
Ratlinghope: St Margaret's
Ratlinghope Shrewsbury Shropshire, SY5 0SR, United Kingdom

The John Moore Quire are a group of West Gallery singers and musicians. The concert will combine music and song together with some historical and anecdotal material from 1720 to 1850, a time when many churches had no organs.
As our organ is currently being restored we thought this was a rather apt way to raise some funds to go towards its repair.
The concert will be followed by a Pimms Afternoon Tea.
ENTRY is FREE . Donations will be gratefully received towards our organ restoration fund.

Ratlinghope: St Margaret's

Welcome to St Margaret's and it's beautiful rural setting.  We are part of the OnnyCamlad Benefice, a group of 10 churches within the Diocese of Hereford.   

Our Church is now open for services and the John Moore Quire Concert on Saturday 30th May but we are SORRY it has to remain closed to the public at other times until the organ is back in position. Our organ restorer is starting work to replace the organ on 1st June. 

Across the Benefice there are a range of services every Sunday so if we haven't got a service here at Ratlinghope there will be one close by.  Please look at the pew sheet for up to date information as to where the services will be taking place (see tab on left)

If you want to find out more or wish to enquire about a wedding or baptism then please contact our Benefice Administrator by email at [email protected] or leave a message at the number listed below.

The parish of Ratlinghope is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our safeguarding officer, Mrs Sue Cooke. The Diocese of Hereford’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
