A VERGER has celebrated a very special award.
Margaret Burston, of St Stephen's Churc, Worcester, has been awarded the prestigious Diploma of the Guild of Vergers.
She has also celebrated 25 years as a verger.
The occasion was marked by the venerable Robert Jones, Archdeacon of Worcester.
Rev Andy Todd, curate in charge of St Stephen’s, said: “Vergers are among the unsung
heroes of the church, helping to welcome visitors and ordering worship, so it’s great to take this opportunity to sing Margaret’s praises!”
