St Nicholas Church endeavours to be a community space for all villagers and visitors. As well as weekly services for those who wish, we also provide a daily space to visit & reflect as well as being a charity donation point, a bring and buy book stop, village noticeboard, event venue as well as of course a piece of key village history and architecture. Plus wonderful floral arrangements and beautiful outside space to admire 🤩

A lovely afternoon in prospect! If you've never climbed the tower to marvel at the spectacular views, you really should! You'll be guided up at half-hour intervals and a guided tour of the church interior at 2.15 and of the churchyard at 3.15 will also be on offer.

And that's not counting the tea and cake ... !!! 😃

Tomorrow's Welcome Space at the church will take place as usual but unfortunately the tour of the church interior has had to be POSTPONED at short notice. Apologies for this. The welcome you receive will be just as warm however!

Our ever-popular WELCOME SPACE is, as usual, this Thursday. Pop along for a chat at any time between 11am and 2pm, stay as long as you like and enjoy a very warm welcome while tucking into some refreshments.

This week Peter Ewart will be on hand to provide an informal guided tour of the church interior, perhaps explaining one or two features that might always have puzzled you and introducing you to some of the characters who've helped to make this amazing building what it is today. Peter's tour will start at 12 noon - just join it when you can and leave when you like.

See you there!

ST NICHOLAS' BOOKSTALL

Following the storing away of stock during Easter and the Art Exhibition, the bookstall is now fully up & running again. The recent acquisition of bookcases has enabled the freeing up of tables and a more compact arrangement. An opportunity has been taken to overhaul the stock itself and we're now displaying around 500 titles again, as usual divided into separate categories: FICTION is the largest section & remains divided between crime/thriller/spy titles to the right & other fiction (e.g. romance) to the left. The former is sorted alphabetically by author, the latter not yet. NON-FICTION and CHILDREN'S books at the East end as before, HISTORY and CLASSICS to the West.

Please continue to place your contributions in the little wall slot just inside the church door or use the card machine next to it (choose a sum and "click & go"). Donations of clean books in good condition remain welcome - please place these in the box provided, not on the bookshelves themselves. Unfortunately, the shelf dimensions mean we can no longer take in large format books. And one or two shelves are a little wonky - please go easy! 😊

All books are still at the bargain price of only 50p (unless you wish to add a little more).

Thank you for continuing to help us meet the daily maintenance costs of running Ash's beautiful parish church. Happy Reading!!
