Thank you to everyone who contributes news, photographs, and updates. Your efforts help keep us connected, informed, encouraged, and reminded that we are part of something much bigger than our individual churches. Meanwhile, we continue to navigate life without Simon's steady hand on the tiller while he enjoys what can only be described as an impressively extended holiday. We pray for his safe return and trust that, when he does reappear, he will still remember where everything is and how the newsletter works. There is, of course, no suggestion whatsoever that we are counting the days. (27 🤣) Please keep sending your articles, notices, celebrations, events, and photographs to admin@9bridges.church. The newsletter is at its best when it reflects the richness of life across the whole benefice, and that depends on all of us sharing the stories of what God is doing among us. Thank you for all you do. Every blessing, Keir.Download the file.
I have assigned the grave space excel points to all the records that I have on my website maxeychurch.co.ukThere are many records in the burial register that have no grave markers. Therefore I have no knowledge of where these people are buried. One family in particular, the Atkins, have ten people buried in Maxey churchyard but I can find no marker for any of them. It would be nice if they were all buried in one area. If anyone has any knowledge they can pass on please contact me on mickloveder@gmail.com Atkins - Gertrude Mary Daughter of John Atkins 3/2/1897 Age 2 Atkins - Sarah Ann 19/9/1911 Age 67 Atkins - male child Son of Beatrice Atkins 4/4/1917 Age 21days Atkins - John 7/12/1918 Age 50 Atkins - John Thomas 30/12/1918 Age 18 Atkins - Evelyn 17/12/1919 Age 22 Atkins - Owen Frederick 19/4/1924 Age 1yr 11months Atkins - Sybil Iris 4/6/1928 Age 5 Atkins - Doris May 24/3/1964 Age 46 Atkins - Wallace Frederick 1/4/1993 Age 84
