From Jane Heath
At the end of May the Well Toddler group had a little Jubilee party. We used the ‘Jubilee Room’ in the Parish Centre – it seemed appropriate!
It got me thinking about the history of our Parish Centre, and I thought that since we’ve got the Jubilee weekend coming up, other people might be interested in finding out, or recalling the past history of the building too.

I thought that (former vicar) Roger Oldfield’s reminder that the building was extended and refurbished to the Glory of God, and in answer to prayers was an important one to recall, but it’s also interesting to note all the Christian teaching that went on in the building prior to that.
