Now that we are in an interregnum, this service will be led by a lay member of the benefice - usually Susan Rose on one Sunday and shared by others in the team on the other Sunday.

During the interregnum, with thanks to the Revd Greg Shaw, we are maintaining a regular monthly celebration of Holy Communion on the first Sunday of every month. We use the Common Worship format for the service with hymns. We look forward to those who attend stopping for coffee and chat afterwards.

Fayre will be held on The Green, which will be closed to traffic for the afternoon. There will be a fun dog show, craft stalls, home produce stall, children's games, Field Jammers music, Howe & Co chip van, Mario's ice cream van, classic cars, Horticultural Show tent and teas in the village hall. All proceeds go to St Mary's church funds.

To make entries for the Show cups, tap the MORE INFO button below and use the QR code.

Free car parking in the sports field off Chapel Lane - signposted on the day.

An expert band of diocesan bellringers will be attempting to ring 5,040 changes on our six bells on Saturday 12 December starting at 10am. This free recital will take about 3hours and 15 minutes and will be the first with the new bell headstocks and fittings. They had intended to ring in December 2025 but our bells were still unexpectedly out of the tower.
