All Saints Church, Thorpe Abbotts Over the summer we put out a plea for some help with the running of the Church and churchyard. Thank you very much indeed to those who have offered their help. As it happens, the mowing task has not been onerous as the mower did not have to come out from May through till the end of September! We hope to have a cleanup day later in the year when the clearing of the boundary wall will continue. We will have a go at the ivy on the Church which has grown vigorously. Back in July we were delighted to welcome a visit from the Round Towers Society, who included us in their Friday tours. We had over 50 there and it was fascinating to hear the experts tell us all about the Church. Mind you with a building over 900 years old there have been many changes, alterations or rebuilds. For instance, it is clear that during the 15 th Century, there was a major extension to the west and then the building of the tower. The skill lies in being able to spot what, and when, alterations have happened. Coming up we have our Harvest Festival on 14 th <strong>October</strong> when we will celebrate what a wonderful summer we have had, with a family service at 4pm. Following on from this we have our Remembrance Service at 9.30am on Sunday 11 th November. We have decided to put on a Race Night in November so put the 10 th in your diary. More details to follow but definitely not one to be missed! It is with much sadness that I have to inform you all that Jane Wood has died. Jane was a well-known character in our Village, often seen out early mornings, in all weathers walking her beloved dogs .She also liked to be involved in all aspects of our community and village life, being supportive to individuals and helping out whenever possible with Thorpe Abbotts Church and Village Hall events. Jane will be greatly missed. Simon 38
