Notice and Consultation - The Large Wooden Cross
Please note that we have had to take down the large wooden cross near the area where cremated remains are interred because the base of the cross had rotted through and was in danger of falling.
The cross has been laid on the ground underneath the tree on the left hand side of the new area of the churchyard.
The PCC is now considering what, if anything, will be an appropriate replacement memorial.
If you have a particular view and/or would like to contribute to a replacement memorial,
please get in touch using the contact form here, and we will add to our discussion.
