His retirement takes effect from 10 th November and he is expected to leave the Rectory by the end of that week. Father Godfrey has served our two villages for over thirty years and many of you will have personal experience of his vocation during that time. We all wish Godfrey and Valerie a very happy retirement and much happiness in their new home, with lots of time to visit the family in France. Sadly his retirement party will have to wait but please remember them in your prayers. As a Parish we now move into a period of “interregnum”, or “vacancy” where we will have no parish priest for an extended period of time. As churchwardens we will try to keep you informed about the Diocesan plans for the church here, which is under consideration as I write. The parochial church council and indeed the parish council are involved with this process of retaining the presence of a Priest in our villages in the future. Please feel free to contact one of the three churchwardens with any matter relating to our three churches. We are maintaining weekly services conducted by visiting priests during the vacancy. The church Annex has now reopened and is available for hire.

  • A Brief History of the Egrets Way Project

    A Brief History of the Egrets Way Project

    A Brief History of the Egrets Way Project The people who initiated the Egrets Way Project in 2011 were not the first group of local residents to join forces to identify a safe cycling route which would connect Newhaven, Lewes and the villages in between. In 2004, an earlier attempt by members of the POLO (Parishes of the Lower Ouse) group to create a ‘Greenway’ running alongside the C7 Lewes to Newhaven Road had foundered when no achievable route could be identified. However, in Autumn, 2011, three significant events occurred which encouraged members of those same communities to try again: • the Environment Agency announced its intention to maintain the flood defences of the river in the Lower Ouse valley, • the Government announced substantial funding for sustainable transport plans, and • the South Downs National Park (SDNP), created in 2010, came into operation. Following public meetings, held for the purpose of measuring support for the project, a constitution was adopted, a Steering Committee was created, officers were elected, and the project known as the Ouse Valley Cycle Network (OVCN) came into being. A great deal of work then began to identify a route, locate relevant landowners and meet with representatives of organisations with shared interests as well as engaging with the public through parish council meetings and attendance at local events. By the end of the year, the group had joined forces with a working party from the Kingston Road and Cranedown Residents Association and the Kingston Action Group which had long been exploring the possibility of creating an off-road cycleway connecting Kingston and Lewes.
