In preparation for our Heritage Open Day which was a huge success. Thank you to everyone that helped to make the Church and it’s grounds look beautiful and to everyone that baked delicious cakes much enjoyed by those who attended. The historical connection to George Hudson and the history of the church was explained and explored. It was lovely to meet up with faces both familiar and new. Thank you everyone for being generous in giving donations to help raise funds for this beautiful old church. 😁
