Letter fom the Vicar


Rev'd Keith Nicholls reviews his first days in the Parish..


Stubbings Churchyard

The profusion of wild flowers in our churchyard, attracting butterflies, birds and bees is a constant delight. Do enjoy what is a valuable conservation area: all too soon they will seed themselves, the mowers will move in and they will all be gone for this year

Farewell to Gregory 

Gregory Cameron


We bid farewell to Gregory, now Bishop of St Asaph. We have been immensely privileged that Gregory has included our Parish in his busy ministry over almost three years. His support of the parish has been an inspiration and we have all benefited from his gentle manner, his faithful celebration of the Eucharist for us and his ever insightful and thought-provoking sermons.

We shall miss him, Clare, Ben, Will and Ned very much and we wish them all Godspeed as they move into the next exciting stage of their lives read more..

A Celtic blessing from Hilary


Thank you to everyone for all the good wishes, the cards, the presents, the cheques, the lunches, suppers, flowers, party and service. It was a brilliant send off.

I have found a Celtic blessing which I am taking with me into my new phase of life and would wish it for all of you.


May the light of God guide you and bless the work that you do.
May you see in what you do the beauty of your own soul.
May the sacredness of your work bring healing, light and renewal to those who work with you and to those who see and receive your work.
May your work never weary you.
May it release within you well springs of refreshment, inspiration and excitement.
May the day never burden.
May dawn find you awake and alert, approaching your new day with dreams, possibilities and promises.
May evening find you gracious and fulfilled.
May you go into the night blessed, sheltered and protected.
May God calm, console and renew you.

Love Hilary

Rev'd Dilys Woodmore talks about - Turning Points


It's commonly acknowledged that the world was changed by 9/11. Post 9/11 life was to be lived in a different way, defined by that cataclysmic event and the ensuing fallout from it. Fear and mistrust of those from other faiths and cultures dominated the immediate future and the shock of what had happened to a super power on its own territory rocked the arrogance and invincibility of the western world.
