Upcoming Events
We are delighted to invite you to the ‘Rededication of the Bells’ service at St Mary’s Church, Bepton on Sunday 26th April at 11.15.
The necessary repairs to the Bell Tower have been undertaken, the bells are rehung and can be heard ringing across the village. Whilst we are planning the next phase of repair and preservation of our much loved church, this is a chance to come together as a community and celebrate what has been achieved so far. It has only been possible due to the support of the many donors, so it is also an opportunity to say thank you.
It is hoped that Andrew Griffith MP will attend the short service, which will be followed by coffee and refreshments.
Many thanks,
The Trustees of Friends of St Mary’s Bepton
