CHURCH NEWS: On Sunday, there will be Holy Communion at St Nicholas Church, at 9.30am, to be taken by the Rev Edgar Hyde. The open gardens weekend, flower show in the church and teas in the hall, raised £867 for church funds.

Church members bade farewell and made a presentation to Dorothy Crouch, a faithful member of St Nicholas for more than 30 years, who is moving to near her daughter in Lancashire.
