First, we wish you all a Happy Christmas and New Year!

We look forward to the Carol Services at both churches and also the Carols round the Christmas Tree at the Village Hall: mulled wine and mince pies at all events. The Calendars on the Home Page list the Christmas Services, starting with the ever popular Bread Service at St. Giles, all taken by Revd. Philip Green, a School Governor.

So far we still do not have a Priest-in-Charge, but next year’s services will be taken by visiting Priests and Readers, by now old friends, booked up until Easter Day. St. Giles now has he builders repairing stonework surrounds to external windows and doors, hence the scaffolding protection. We hope that the work will be completed over the Winter, because we want to reclaim VAT before that concession is taken away in April.

So once again, we want to thank everyone who helps to produce and distribute the Parish Paper, which is free to residents of both villages (paid for by advertising, and also the two churches). And once again, we wish everyone a Happy Christmas and New Year!
