'For the Fallen' by Laurence Binyon

"They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them. We will remember them".

'The Kohima Epitaph' by John Maxwell Edmonds

When you go home, tell them of us and say,
For your tomorrow, we gave our today.

The programme for the service is here

 

Date: Tuesday 15th December 2026
Time: 10am - 3 pm (stay as long as you want to)

We have had a long association with the Charity Caring for God's Acre and have appreciated hugely their work in helping us to care for the old  churchyard.

They are returning to carry on their good work in December, but could really do with some help. 

If you would like to join the team of volunteers we would love to see you on the day.  No experience needed. Report in to Alex. Outdoor worktools are provided. Just dress for the weather and bring some lunch if you are planning to stay a while.

With huge thanks in anticipation.

Date: From May 2025 onwards

Venue: St Peter's Church

Thankyou to everyone who made the charity book launch of "The Temptation and Downfall of the Vicar of Stanton Lacy" on  17th May 2025 such a success.

As background, on the inner south wall of our church is a plaque listing all the vicars who have served here since 1300. Halfway down the list, in 1679, are the dates of the Reverend Robert Foulkes. What is doesn’t say is why his time there ended so abruptly. He was hanged that year at Tyburn.

 His tale is a moving account of a forbidden, passionate love affair that turns sour, of village jealousies, of the joys and troubles of an agricultural Shropshire community in the aftermath of the Restoration. And as Pembridge historian Dr Peter Klein points out in his moving and accurately told tale, it is a universal story of the struggles of human nature. Dr Klein has managed to discover archive material which brings the whole drama, known throughout 17th century England, back to life.

 As a fundraiser for local churches, and in particular St Peter’s church where this story begins, the Unwin Charitable Trust has donated copies of this book, with every penny raised going to the church. The normally £12 book is available to all worshippers and visitors in return for a £10 donation to the church.

Copies of the book and details of how to pay are on display in St Peter's.

We would like to thank sincereley the Unwin Charitable Trust for their kind donation of 300 books. We hope that you enjoy reading the book and thank you for your continuing support.
