It is with sadness that we learned that Angie Williams died on 5th December.  We send our love to Mervyn and to his family.  I am writing this on 8th December with the hope that Angie's funeral can be arranged before Christmas where she can be laid to rest in the peacefulness of the churchyard.

My Grandmother used to say "onwards and upwards".  And onwards and upwards we go into 2026.  Sustaining our ancient churches so that they are fit for purpose is an ever-increasing challenge, particularly in our rural areas.  I would like to say a huge thank you to the PCC for all its hard work during 2025 and to all our fiends, who, behind the scenes, keep the Church and the Churchyard, maintained, cared for, and loved.  It shows.  And you are needed.  Thank you.

So - onwards and upwards we go into the challenges of 2026, as the alternative of going backwards an downwards would not be pleasant.  All Saints wishes everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year and we look forward to welcoming you to our January service on Sunday 25th at 9.30am.
