Remembrance
RIDE and STRIDE
A very big thank you to all who sponsored
Peter and/or Diana, Mike and Michela.
Their efforts raised a total of £1,830
for the Dorset Historic Churches Trust, half of
which comes back to our PCC - and much gratitude
goes to the DHCT for their help with finance on
our recent repairs to the church’s (internal)
roof timbers.
