Church Whats On's
Restoration Work Around St Mary's
Volunteers have been busy for several months now around St Marys Church renovating and cleaning numerous grave stones that had become overgrown with grasss and moss. Grave stones in the old section of the ancient church yard now look clean and tidy with the grass and moss removed, also recently, the main walk-through gate to the church main door has seen some renovation work come it's way. The swing gates have also been removed along with the woodwork of the arch being painted and cleaned.
Below we have a selection of the volunteers work of the renovation in and around the church yard.
Those of you reading this
item would nodoubt agree,
that thanks and
appreciation, should be
directed to those who are
undertaking this work of
restoration, in and around
the ancient churchyard
of St Marys.

Picnic At The Vicarage
Saturday 12th July saw Janice throw open the doors, well, the garden gate
of the vicarage, for a vicarage picnic in the garden.
The day started off at 2pm in the afternoon as locals started to arrive with
their picnic hampers full of who knows what!? By 2.30pm the afternoon picnic
was in full swing, with a Jazz band playing as people tucked into their wine,
sandwiches and chatted. Janice played the perfect host greeting people as
they arrived, it was nice to see familiar faces during the afternoon, from Keith-
Banks, Ruth Hilton, the two Carols and Mauirine and Richard...
During the afternoon the jazz band and "The Straws" headed by St Mary's
very own Jeoff entertained with numerous country and Irish songs.
Thankfully the weather stayed fine with sunshine and the odd dull moment as
the clouds hid the sun. Nevertherless,, the afternoon was a huge success
and by 5.30pm everyone was pleased with the afternoons picnic and
entertainement.
Well done Janice!

Short Video Of St Marys Church Yard
A nice sunny July day during 2007, here we have a breif wander around St Marys churchyard just off Church Raod in the village.
In this short 4 minute video you can see how St Marys looks today, almost 30 years after the fire which destroyed it.
Also you can see the Childe Of Hales grave and wood carving, along with the resting place of the Ireland Blackburnes from Hale Hall.
Don't forget to look out for the coins on the Childe Of Hales grave.
