Progress on the Bley tomb

Phase I is now completed in the restoration of the 250 yr old Bley Tomb in St Mary's churchyard. The supporting ties for the tomb sides have been replaced, and the reconstruction is finished. The stonework around the tomb has also been refitted where needed and prepared for the new metal railings, including a gate as before. This will complete the second Phase.






The Pet Service was held in St John The Baptist Church, Stanford on Soar on Sunday, by Rev Glynis accompanied by Claire, the new Curate. I wonder if any unusual animals were brought to the service?

Is anyone growing the tallest sunflower or the largest marrow? Stanford children have been given the seeds and are competing against each other. We look forward to hearing in September at a special service who has won.

We wish Abi, our Choirmistress and Chris our best wishes on their marriage on Saturday, 19th at All Saints' Church, Sawley. Let's hope the weather is fine for them.
