Two new trees have been planted in the churchyard in March and just in time to be counted as part of the Queen’s Jubilee Canopy, in celebration of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s 70 years on the throne. The trees, one an oak and the other a flowering plum, replace others lost in recent years. The planting was ably undertaken by the Vicar and Tim Harris.
The oak tree was donated by Ann Willis in memory of her husband Bob, a well known and loved figure at St Mary’s who died in December.
