Ashley Church: 150th Anniversary - 7 pm Tuesday 29 June
Time to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the consecration by Bishop Harper on 29 June 1871. Paul Askin will lead a short interdenominational service in the Church tonight. Guest speakers will outline the key phases of the building's history including its salvage and restoration nearly 50 years ago. Supper will be served afterwards with birthday cake! Entry is free but donations to cover costs will be appreciated. Still some seats left. Just a reminder that there is no toilet at the Church but we will have heating tonight.
