St James’ Church is beginning to come to
terms with the loss of our Churchwarden, Les
Chapman, who died early in December. Les
was a tower of strength in the church and in the
parish. If anything needed doing Les would
quietly get on and deal with it. He contributed
many of his own possessions to the church,
such as a step ladder, a CD player, various
candlesticks, a constant supply of candles,
Christmas tree lights, and a nativity set which
he had brought from Holland many years ago,
together with a cave crib and a light-up star
which he made himself. He was also good at
making sure that health and safety and security
matters were dealt with according to law (or
common sense). He was extremely helpful
during the time of our church repairs in dealing
with the builders and the architect, and William

him greatly, but are delighted that Christopher
remains a member of our PCC and continues
to bring his little family along to the Family
Service.
