On Friday we were delighted to welcome classes from St Agnes' and St Hugh's schools to visit us in the morning, and then St Thomas' school held their Friday Achievement Assembly in church.

Sunday saw the final part of our celebrations in the form of a Parish Eucharist Service led by out Area Dean, the Revd Daniel Ramble. Many visitors joined in our Worship and for refreshments afterwards, and we hope to see them again soon.

The picture below is of our combined choirs of St Agnes' and St Thomas', who led the singing, accompanied by organist Warren Andrew.
