News and General Information

Yew Tree - Update
On safety grounds, a large yew tree in the southern part of the churchyard has been drastically reduced in size. During a recent storm, the tree “broke its back” with one large section toppling over grave structures and another leaning perilously close to the public footpath. This path is in frequent use by schoolchildren, dog-walkers and visitors, whose safety would be compromised if no action was taken. By relieving the tree of much of its weight in timber, branch-wood and foliage, we are hopeful of vigorous new growth so that over time, this ancient yew will once again become a feature of the churchyard.

Bolney Market
The final market of the year originally scheduled for next Saturday (7th) has been cancelled.

Parish Giving Scheme
Church expenditure has not substantially changed during the COVID-19 outbreak.
We still need to support mission, insure the church building, continue outward giving and contribute towards clergy costs.
If you want to adjust your giving, you can contact PGS at info@parishgiving.org.uk or call 0333 002 1260.

For more about the scheme visit www.parishgivingscheme.org.uk quoting Parish Code: 100 610 153.

 

Could you help to restock the FSW foodbank?
Non-perishable goods, toiletries, pasta, cereals, tinned goods etc are especially welcome at this challenging time.
We now have FSW baskets both in church and in the Eight Bells - Please continue to donate when passing or visiting.
 
Plastic milk bottle top - Chesnut Tree House Childrens Hospice
Please continue to save your plastic milk bottle tops as they cannot be recycled in your wheelie bin.

Please help by being vigilant
. . .  when passing the church and contact either churchwarden if you are suspicious of any untoward activity.
 
Legacies
Once having made provision for your loved ones, please consider leaving a legacy in your will to our beautiful church.
