A Riding, Striding Day Out
On September 11th, Daphne, Brian and I joined seven
members of Moat URC Church on a sponsored ‘Ride and
Stride’ to visit local churches, organised on behalf of the
Surrey Churches Preservation Trust.
We walked to six churches in East Grinstead then took the
270 bus to Lindfield, visiting two churches there. After a coffee break, we
took the 270 again to Haywards Heath where we visited six churches and
had our lunch. Replenished, we continued to Crawley on the 271. We
found the Crawley parish church, one in Southgate, another in Tilgate and
the final one in Furnace Green en route to Three Bridges. Tired and wet,
we then caught the 291 home.
The outing took all day and we enjoyed the fellowship of friends despite
the rain. The few churches which were open we found very interesting,
especially the wood carvings in St Richard’s, and we were told something
of the history of St Wilfred’s by the Rector and one of his congregation.
This event is normally a very good fundraiser for local churches as half of
the sponsored money goes to our church and half to the Trust.
Thank you to the five members of St. Johns who
sponsored us. We hope to get £25 for our fundraising
project this year ‐ maybe more another year!
