We welcome Rev Clive Fairclough to the benefice and on 21st June a lovely installation service was held in St Edmund's church in Hargrave. We hope that Clive and his wife, Jo, will be happy here.
The picture here shows St Edmundsbury Cathedral's Millennium Tower. Did you know that there are regular tower tours in the throughout the summer and autumn? 10.30am on Saturdays and 2pm on Wednesdays. For just £10 per visitor you could climb the 202 steps to the very top, taking in views from the south transept roof and the gallery in the nave along the way. You will learn about the construction of the tower and the wooden vaulted ceiling, a brief history of the abbey and get far-reaching views of Suffolk from the top. Just visit the St Edmundsbury Cathedral website to book your tickets.
