Message from Team Rector, Rev Chris Hollingshurst:I have been so pleased to hear of the recent Wildlife Trust Bronze Award to St James'. At the recent Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM), I spoke of how beautiful the churchyard was, in particular the area behind the church which I had seen for the first time just prior to the APCM. I am delighted for the parish that our churchyard has been recognised in this way and offer my thanks to those who have achieved this or who have been involved in any other way. Congratulations - and thank you!
