This is a very special, reflective service. Originally practised by the monks of Taize, France, Taizé Prayer is evening prayer for all Christian faiths. It is a simple, meditative form of worship. Prayerful silence and short readings guide the focus of the prayer in a candle-lit environment.

We have a splendid exhibition of photographs of the sixteenth century carvings on the chancel wagon roof. These fascinating carvings are extremely rare, some are possibly unique, and depict ordinary people, animals and mythical creatures.

The exhibition runs throughout August, September and October and is not to be missed.

Here are a few examples.

Sciapods were mythical men were said to live in hot climates, and used their single, oversized foot as a parasol.

Writers on mediaeval English churches claim that the church of Dennington St. Mary has the only known carving of this mythical bigfooted creature.

Donations will be used to support the soon to be launched toilet installation fund. Do pay a visit!
