Whilst the church oozes history, it’s garden quietly frames it. The formal front garden is quietly being restored holding the tomb stone of our patroness Miss Coulston. In the rear garden, not only do you get great views of the church sanctuary from the outside, there you will also see a lovingly planted ‘new’ parish community allotment. The space was birthed during our Covid lock-down from donations from the parish. A former wasteland gave way to vegetables and fruit from our rich blessed earth!The produce is sold in the parish to fund stock/plants for the following year. Any excess stock too goes to our food club. This space already lends itself to socially distanced meetings, Praise & Worship Gigs and the odd covid- time wedding! And once Covid is through, we plan to run ‘prayer and gardening’ retreats and are already building up a team of volunteers to help with the day-to-day tasks.
Come along, enjoy the space, and some allotment produce (including fresh jams) will be available to take away for a small donation! Meet in the church for a short talk at 2pm and then the tour of the garden at the back.
