Scam Alerts
There's still a scam running, sadly, someone is asking people to book stalls for a Craft Fair at Saint Clement's. It's not us!! Please do not part with any money for this! Our next is the Folk Craft Fair on 20th July.
Churchyard Notice
All year round, especially in these spring days as new growth emerges, our Church Grounds Team works hard. Countless hours of careful gardening go into the churchyard rewilding, for this we are very grateful.
When the grounds are in bloom in the spring and summer, however pretty they look, PLEASE DO NOT PICK THE CHURCHYARD FLOWERS. The churchyard and it's blooms are there for everyone to enjoy.
