Our church in Great Chishill is dedicated to St Swithun, and his ‘day’ is the 15th July. This year it was decided to celebrate St Swithuns Day but as the actual day fell at a weekend when there were lots of other things going on, the village celebrated a week early and for a whole weekend.
The weekend started with the ever popular ‘Pimms o’clock’ evening with a live Jazz Band to help it along. There was a flower festival in the church on Saturday and Sunday, and on Sunday a family treasure hunt, a bike ride to Brent Pelham.
Sunday afternoon saw the garden of the URC packed with people for a barbecue and cream tea, accompanied by ‘The Elderlies’. To round off the weekend there was a ‘Songs of Praise’ evensong in the church. Neil was at some of the events with his camera and some of his pictures are available here.
