TLC needed for benches

Two benches in St Peter’s Graveyard need some TLC. Are there any volunteers who might like to wire brush them down and treat with a varnish?

If so, please contact the churchwarden Dominic Shiels Tele: 01206 273324 or email dominic@poplargs.co.uk

St Peter’s Markets

Raising funds for the churches of St Peter’s and St Mary’s

The village churches have set up an online market place to fundraise. The aim is to raise funds to help support church activities and maintenance and also providing gardeners with an alternative to discarding their surplus plants by making them available to fellow gardeners in exchange for charitable donations. Go to https://stpetersmarketplace.org/  to find out how you can contribute or email  stpetersmarkets@gmail.com
