Churchyard update
Please note grass cutting will start in the next couple of weeks in the new churchyard which the church has the responsibility for maintaining. Any Christmas wreaths on graves will need to be cleared in preparation for this. If you attend a grave in the churchyard please can you help us by removing any old wreaths/plants. Please note that we don’t have any waste facilities so please can you take them home with you to dispose of. Thank you!
