The Dubber 3 THE PARISHES OF THE PURBECK HILLS LETTER FROM THE ReCTORY PRE-SCHOOL July 2014 SERVICE a service for pre-school children and parents ome of you may remember my article Wednesday 2 July of last September where I wrote about at 11am S the loss of the beautiful wisteria in the St George’s Church car at St George’s Church, park. Sadly, due to the wall needing to be rebuilt the aged plant Langton Matravers had to go. The dug out roots of the plant were delivered to the Parents and carers welcome Rectory awaiting my having some spare time to make them into a feature in the garden, and a few cuttings were taken by a parishioner in the hope that we would be able to ensure that in some way the wisteria still had a chance to survive!
