Chorley's Valuation Day

for 4 hours
St Peter & St Paul, Blockley
The Church of St Peter & St Paul The Square Blockley Moreton in Marsh, GL56 9ES, United Kingdom

A great opportunity to bring along your items and have them valued by an expert. Chorley’s has chosen Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust as its Charity of the Year so now is the perfect time to see what's hiding in the back of the cupboard, up in the attic or tucked away in a drawer. That piece of jewellery you've inherited, the old painting you've always wondered about, the silver that's never used or the collectables gathering dust could be more interesting, and more valuable, than you think.
Bring along your antiques, jewellery, silver, ceramics, collectables, pictures, books or other interesting items and receive a free expert valuation from a Chorley's specialist. All items valued above £100 can be sent to auction. Following your valuation, the choice is entirely yours. You are welcome to simply take your item home or, if you decide to sell it through Chorley's, it can be entered into a special charity auction taking place in early November. If you choose to sell, you decide what percentage of the final sale price you would like to donate to Gloucestershire Historic Churches Trust. You can donate 25%, 50%, 75% or even 100% of the proceeds, allowing you to support a good cause while still receiving a share of the sale if you wish.
It's a wonderful opportunity to uncover hidden treasures, clear some space at home and help protect Gloucestershire's historic churches for future generations.
Refreshments will be sold in aid of the church.

St Lawrence, Bourton-on-the-Hill

NEED A COOL SPACE? THE CHURCH IS OPEN DURING THE DAY  - DO CALL IN IF YOU NEED SOMEWHERE TO TAKE A BREAK AND REST!   WALKERS ARE WELCOME - DRINKS AND A TOILET ARE AVAILABLE.                              

Welcome to St Lawrence, Bourton-on-the-Hill. We are a small, friendly congregation who worship in a historic church overlooking the Evenlode Valley in the North Cotswolds. We have a service at 11:15 every Sunday except the first Sunday of the month when we have a service of evening prayer with hymns at 6pm. When there is a fifth Sunday in a month we join with other congregations in our benefice for a 9:30 communion service (See "Services and Events" to find out which church is hosting).  

There is also an all-age "Open Door" service on the first Sunday of the month and Holy Communion with Junior Church stories and activities for children on the third Sunday of the month. Both of these take place at Blockley Church and start at 9:30am.

 Our church is Norman with later changes. It is open during daylight hours and visitors are most welcome. It's a peaceful place. We are part of the Quiet Garden Network and we have been given a silver EcoChurch award by A Rocha for our approach to caring for all God's creation.

There is parking in the back lane off the A44 behind the church or in the old school carpark when that building is not being used for community functions. A notice on the wall in the car park lists when these are taking place. The car park is available for church use on Sundays. 

All are welcome to come along to any service - you don't need to have any experience of church or know what to do! We look forward to welcoming you!

Jesus said " Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest".   Matthew ch.11 v.28
