The day started with a Holy Communion service at 10.30am in which Canon David Sherwin gave thanks for the bells. It was also a special service for local deacon, Rev Becky Elliott, because she took her first communion service. Afterwards, local parishioners were invited to a barbecue the Rectory, followed by a dog show and a bell competition.
