For Everyone!

Our first all age worship service of 2019 takes place on Sunday 27th January 2019. Come and be part of our community as we sing, pray, read the Bible and learn together. Everybody is welcome.

On Friday 28 December, the St. Martin’s band were
successful in completing an astonishing world record attempt. At 7 hours and 34 minutes it was the longest and most complex peal ever rung on 14 bells with a phenomenal 10,192 changes in total. At the end, the adjudicating umpires were fully satisfied with the performance – substantiating the world record – and the ringers were elated if not also exhausted.

We are very proud of this extraordinary achievement and
appreciative of our highly-gifted and dedicated band of ringers.

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:

“God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;

The Wrong shall fail,

The Right prevail, with peace on earth, good-will to men.”                                                                     

                                                              Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
