Report from Shelford Church November 2016 (see attachment for more details on the Cross Fragment and the Tower Roof Repairs)
1. We report, with regret, that we will lose our vicar, Graeme Anderson, at the end of the year. We wish Graeme and Judy well in the new appointment in Coventry.
2. We have had it confirmed that the Saxon Cross fragment is of national significance.
3. Messy Church continues to thrive.
4. The tower repairs are complete and have been paid for through donations from the village and a number of charities.
5. Opening the church on Wednesdays in summer was a success.
6. A `Guide to Shelford Church and its History’ is now available in the church for £3.

Alan Evans Memorial Trust
