St Mary's Church
St Mary’s had a visit from A.E. Cultural Tours on September 8th. They were greeted by Rev. Alison. This is a holiday company that specialises in coach tours around the UK that visit places of historical note. Hopefully this is a sign that life is getting back to normal, and it would be good if St Mary’s is on their itinerary of regular visits
