Saturday 25 February 2012, 9:30 am
The next Churchyard clearing morning will be at Streat on Saturday February 25th starting at 9.30 am when we hope you will be able to join us. Please come along even if only for an hour and bring any tools you think will be useful for tasks such as cutting back undergrowth and ivy, edging paths and tidying graves. Coffee, tea and cakes will be provided.
During the morning Fr David will bless a new bench in memory of Ruth Thomas who died on February 25th 2010. Ruth, who was christened in Streat Church, was the daughter of George Thomas of Spatham Farm in Spatham Lane where she lived for many years. The bench given by her family will be placed in the south churchyard looking towards the Downs that she loved.
