As part of the Heritage Lottery sponsored project at All Saints Church, we are looking at the biodiversity in the churchyard and have mapped and recorded the graves information. Working with Staffordshire Wildlife Trust and the generous support of Chris Seabridge Associates we are developing a plan to maintain and improve the biodiversity. We have already put up some bird boxes provided by the Oak Tree Farm project and set up some wildlife shelters. We have started planting hedging to protect and define the areas in the churchyard. Further plans include planting wildflower areas to encourage bees and other insects. We will expand the hedging around the church and provide bee and bug hotels. More will be done over time and as the weather improves. There is more to do and we will be looking for help as we develop our plans. Nigel Wilson

Our main theme was The Lost Sheep and the children did some wonderful sheep impersonations as they acted out the story.They enjoyed searching for hidden toy sheep around the church and joined in with songs and rhymes. They also did some sheep making craft work. The children certainly weren’t sheepish in their responses to questions! Well done to all involved. Jeannette Butt & Annie Stringer(You can read about the Lost Sheep in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 15 verses 1-7)
