Wonderful blessing of animals service at St James & Emmanuel, Didsbury today. The dogs joined in for the last chorus of All Things Bright and Beautiful and then everyone clapped them!

Hi everyone. We try very hard to look after two of Didsbury’s lovely listed buildings. The oldest and most difficult to care for is beautiful St James where so many past members of the village have been buried. It makes us so incredibly sad to see that to some people we’re nothing more than a playground for graffiti. Don’t be a hero and get hurt but please do look out for St James. This has been happening for months now. We’ve stopped cleaning it because it eggs them on. It won’t be long now before the whole site looks like this. Thanks for your support.
