On the 1st of November we will remember our departed loved one and ancestors in two ways. At 3pm there will be an All Souls service in church, a quiet and reflective memorial service open to all.

At 4pm we will go outside into the churchyard (weather permitting) and light hundreds of memorial lanterns. The churchyard will be transformed into a living memorial full of lights, shining in the darkness. In some countries particularly in the East of Europe this is a well established tradition that sees thousands of lanterns lit each year.

We will provide the lanterns, they burn for 50 hours and they are weather resistant with a vented lid. Lanterns can be in memory of a particular person or in general memoriam.

To sponsor a lantern, we suggest a donation of £5.

You can sponsor lanterns here on-line. You can come to light it and place it yourself on the day or we can light it for you if you can't make it.

For one lantern - please put your name as the 'first name' and the person or people it is in memory of as the 'last name'.
For multiple lanterns - Select and pay for the number of lanterns that you would like then email [email protected] with the names that you wish to remember.

All the names will be prayed for at the All Souls memorial service at 3pm just before the lighting to which everyone is warmly invited.
