The railings have now been placed around the Bley Tomb in St Mary's churchyard, which means the temporary fence will soon be removed. There are some final details to be resolved, and there will be some signing yet, to be placed inside the tomb railings and opposite, on Main St, to indicate the historical tomb for visitors.
There were approximately 20 people who attended the talks in September by Mr Antony Grundy in the Library and in St Mary's, who enjoyed hearing about our benefactor, John Bley.
East Leake and District History Society have spent a lot of time and effort working on promoting and raising funding from English Heritage to rebuild the tomb and bring it back to its former state.
The Licensing of the new Priest in Charge, Revd Glenn Martin by The Rt Revd Tony Porter, Bishop of Sherwood, took place this Wednesday at Sutton Bonington. He will be working with Sutton Bonington and Normanton on Soar churches, and the South Notts. Cluster clergy, which include the East Leake and Gotham Benefices. We welcome him and his wife, Sally.
For those who enjoyed the very entertaining concert by Nottingham Male Voice Choir in September, there were about 135-140 people who attended. £565 was raised on the night, plus other donations reached £620 in total, which was sent to CAFOD for their Burma appeal.
