What's been happening in Church?​​​​

​

​Saturday 10th May - VE Day Anniversary Celebrations.    Marstow bells rang out to celebrate the end of

the war in Europe on 8th May, followed by a party on Saturday at the church on a glorious, sunny

afternoon.   A fascinating talk about local Land Girls by Graham O'Connell was followed by a sumptuous

tea and Prosecco.  The plant stall organised by Hillary with Angela's help was mobbed.   A very happy afternoon for Marstow Parish and our friends.   A big thank you to our Parish Council for the donation

towards costs, Marstow PCC team for organising the event and Graham.
