Magazine
The Herald is the monthly magazine of the parish of St Margaret, Downham with St Peter, South Hanningfield and St Mary the Virgin, Ramsden Bellhouse.The magazine includes news and information from the Church and wider Community in our villages.
Please be aware that since the March edition of The Herald went to print part of the ceiling at St Mary’s Ramsden Bellhouse has collapsed. We are in the process of arranging for scaffolding to be erected so that our architect and builder can examine the ceiling to ascertain the extent of the damage, but in the meantime the church will be closed until further notice. The group service for Mothering Sunday on 15 March will now be held at St Margaret's Downham. The Palm Sunday service on 29 March will be held at 10.30am in Ramsden Bellhouse Baptist Church. It seems unlikely that we will be able to hold a service in St Mary’s on Easter Day. We will publish more information once our architect has inspected the damage.
