A total of 6 cyclists rode to raise money for Hargrave Church and the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust. Paul Rogers and Peter Akitt cycled to around 20 churches and covered about 42 miles. They were joined by Piers and Katie Fuller at Westley and the group rode together to finish at Chevington. Catherine and Jill Upton had a more modest 18 mile ride around the 6 churches that make up Suffolk Heights Benefice. St Edmund Church has been fortunate enough to obtain grants from the Trust over recent years therefore it is important to support this organisation. St Edmund Church welcomed 11 visitors on the day, more than last year which is pleasing to see. Also, there is still time to sponsor! Please contact Paul or Jill. We have received a number of donations for the Gift Day. It is very kind and generous of people to support this initiative.

Great to see so many enjoying a bit of a chat on Wednesdays outside the Village Hall. We've been blessed with dry weather so far, and all of you have said how lovely it is to be in the physical company of other people at last. Lovely to meet some of our new residents who moved in over lockdown as well, and we look forward to seeing you all over May (unless its howling down with rain in which case we will cancel - an update will be added here)
The church looked bright in the sun with its new coat of paint in the chancel, delightful flowers and an Easter garden featuring the empty tomb. Toward the end of the service we sang outside and the keener eyed spotted that the Easter Bunny had visited the graveyard while we were inside and left a few Easter eggs for us allDo feel able to visit over Easter week and enjoy the flowers, the church is open, thank you
