On 8th June, four candidates gathered at All Saint’s Church Sandon for their confirmation which was conducted by Bishop Matthew. They were Gerald George of the Parish of Sandon, Edward and Grace Stone from Fradswell Parish and Freya Kirby from the Parish of Weston. They were supported by friends and family together with a congregation from across Mid Trent Benefice. Rev Vivienne Starkie who had prepared the candidates for this special day in their Christian lives was also there to assist.It was a wonderful service and very appropriately took place at Pentecost, recalling when the disciples received the Holy Spirit.

Sandon 1932. A very rare photo showing the old Sandon river bridge that was washed away in February 1946. The bridge having ribbed arches, one having four & the other five ribs. They were segmental in shape with a total span of 20 yards, the width between parapets being 12 feet. Over each side of the cutwater was a recess to shelter foot-passengers from traffic & livestock crossing the bridge. Simon Shelley
