The day started with a visit to St Mary’s Evedon wonderfully hosted by Tony and Carole Wright to view the building and its surrounds and hear about its history. The group then moved off for lunch and then visited St Edith’s at Anwick. They were welcomed by Reverend Al and Yvonne Allenby. Reverend Al gave a talk on the history of the church and then invited the group to look for some interesting items within and without the building including the 3 men in a boat and the laughing pig (perhaps you can have a look the next time your visit St Edith’s (Hint: you do not need to enter the building to find them!.
