Sermons on Rebuilding Wall:

The Judge Othniel Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 14, 2018

Maundy Thursday Reflection Series

Contributed by John Saynor on Mar 28, 2024

We all want to be remembered don’t we? Look at the memorials on the walls…people who would be long forgotten whom the parishioners at the time didn’t want them to be forgotten. There is a memorial right here for a rector who was here in 1830!
