At this special time of year I regret to report there have been mindless acts of damage in the churchyard which included the complete demolition of a stone cross and the breaking of one of the Church windows.

I would remind the persons responsible for this damage that the memorials in the churchyard are in remembrance of real people. What would be your reaction if someone damaged the grave of say your Mother or Grandfather.

Until now our village has been relatively free from acts of vandalism from which other towns and villages have suffered. I, and I know you, hope this will prove to be an isolated incident.
