BISHOP SOPHIE CALLS IN AT LADBROKE CHURCH

Bishop Sophie visited many places in the the Southam Deanery on Wednesday 5th November including, briefly, Ladbroke Church.  Church Warden Sue presented her with a gift from Ladbroke and Napton churches - a handmade cleek with a hazel wood shaft and a beech handle.  Cleeks are the sticks that shepherds use when walking with their flock,  in contrast to the better known shepherd's crook which is used to catch a sheep round the neck or leg!
