Following the retirement of Rev'd Dr John Rennie, the church is now in a period of Interregnum (or vacancy) until a new priest is appointed. We will, however, continue to have a church service at St Margaret's, South Wonston, most Sundays. Please look at the 'Services and events' page (see menu left) for up-to-date information about services.2022-06-02 updated by ALP.
Please note the change of service times from 3rd April 2022. The normal service time at St Margaret's will be 10:00. Occasionally, this may need to be varied, to suit the schedule of clergy leading our services in combination with services at other churches on the same day. So please check the details for the particular day you are intending to come, on this website.(Posted by ALP on 2022-03-25.)
After thirteen very happy years serving as Rector of the Lower Dever Benefice Mark is leaving to take up a new post a Priest in Charge of Ardeley, Benington, Cottered and Throcking with Walken in St Albans Diocese. After the Patronal Service everyone came together for a picnic lunch in the sun where Roger Keys made a speech summarising the triumphs, achievements and guidance Mark and Sue have given over the years. Roger and Melinda Samms then presented Mark and Sue with a cheque and a framed print of South Wonston artist Alison Pearce’s linocut 'Harvest Sentinels'. We're sorry to see them go but we wish them well and good luck for the future.Photographs of the event and gift can be seen above in the Gallery (top left)
