There have been quite a few comments made in various places about St. Mary's Churchyard. Although it is the church's responsibility to maintain it, it is also part of the village. The last new grave there was in 2014, and there is no further room now, so the only burials we can have are in existing graves or in a few sites for created remains. This means we have little or no income for the churchyard. Our members are struggling to maintain it, and if we pay a gardener it cost

Care of St Mary's Church who held their Christmas Fair on Saturday 26th November in Church.... Thanks to everyone who supported our Christmas Fair. We relied very much on getting the word out that, with the closure of the Village Hall, the Fair was still on in church. So, thanks to yourselves, we had an excellent turn out and raised just over £1500 which is very much needed by the church at this time of year. #stmaryschurchhalevillage
