FUNDRAISING

Two more successful fundraising events were held over the summer.

The first was a very entertaining and thought-provoking talk by Richard Thatcher (complete with court wig and gown) on his life at the Criminal Bar.  Nearly forty people from the village and further afield attended the talk in the church and relished the opportunity to ask questions with £180.68 being raised in donations.

 

A similar event was held in August – the church hosted the church visits group of Rutland U3A (University of the Third Age) who listened to a talk by Debra Thatcher on the history of the church, its architecture and artefacts before refreshments were served. £69 was donated to church funds.

 

Our thanks go to both speakers.
