Marion Lloyd Memorial Concert

for 1 hour
St Margaret of Antioch, Sotterley
Willingham & Sotterley Beccles, NR34, United Kingdom

A much loved mother of two and a devoted grandmother, Marion, had been a church warden at Sotterley for very many years so it seems fitting that we should celebrate her birthday with a concert in her honour following her passing towards the end of last year.

At a Thanksgiving in December 2025 the Collings family, who live locally, sang for a packed congregation and have kindly agreed to return once more to perform - they are truly gifted musicians and have a great deal to offer in terms of classical and more modern pieces so we really look forward to their return.

St Andrew's, Ilketshall St Andrew

St Andrew’s Church has served the rural community of our village since the early 12th century. It contains a number of features which are reminders of our rich heritage; these include a Norman doorway, a Royal Coat of Arms and related Garter Boards, a 16th century carved pew and an Ogee Arch among others. In 2001, while redecorating the church, several 12th and 14th century wall paintings were discovered and a grant from English Heritage made it possible to uncover a section of these unique paintings. This was widely publicised in the press at the time and has, and continues to bring, many visitors to our church. We have an open church so access to visitors is not restricted. We frequently welcome groups from Universities and Local History Societies and have sponsored several Heritage lectures.
