Christmas Puzzle 2023

Christmas PuzzleThis year's annual Charity Christmas Puzzle has now been posted, and is available to download.

This, the 33rd annual Puzzle that Gordon Gray has set, has a theme designed to help completion and will appeal to people who enjoy doing crossword puzzles, such as in the Daily Telegraph (though it is not a crossword puzzle). Puzzlers have plenty of time to find the answers and Puzzles should be returned, with donation, by 28 January 2024.

To download a copy of the Puzzle go to www.christmaspuzzle.uk. Alternatively puzzles can be collected from St Mary's Eaton Bray.

All the money you donate, except for the prize-money, will go to charity.

Cancelled: Open Gardens 2023

Open Gardens Festival 16 July 2023 Cancelled

I'm sorry to inform you that this summer's Open Gardens event has sadly been cancelled due to there being too few offers of gardens to visit. One explanation for this may be the serious damage done in December by 10 days of the temperature being 14 degrees below zero. This has been compounded by the subsequent wet spring followed by the current period of hot and dry weather. If you have a lovely garden and would like to help ensure the Open Gardens event takes place next year please contact Gordon Gray.

Additional Plot for Cremated Remains

Sketch of proposed cremation plot 3St Mary's PCC has applied for permission to designate an additional site in the churchyard for the burial of cremated remains. This will be adjacent to the existing site which only has a few individual plots remaining.

There is still one side free on the Memorial of Remembrance, and the names of those whose ashes are buried in the churchyard will continue to be recorded there.

If you would like further information, please contact us.
