St James’ Church held a special service last Sunday to thank all
those people who help the church in so many different ways. A good number of
people came and thoroughly enjoyed the service and the tea party
afterwards.

Parish Clerk writes:
As the dust
settles on the recent election, Rural England are keen to find out what the key
issues are that matter to people in rural areas. Supported by the Rural
Services Network, they have commissioned a short survey. It is important to hear
your opinions and experience of life in rural England so that they can start to
shape a new agenda for the countryside.
