“How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!”

Holy Communion is now celebrated once again every Sunday at 11.15am.

There will be some organ music, but no singing and strict guidelines and social-distancing will be followed.

And St Mary’s will also be open every Wednesday from 10am-12noon.

We look forward to welcoming you!
Please wear a face-covering for the safety of us all on both occasions.

Please contact Joanna, the Rector, in the first instance for the Guidelines for Worship and any further support we can offer in these challenging times on: 01225 864444 or Joanna.abecassis@cantab.net and/or see our website at www.htboa.org.

We asked for BALSAM to BE GONE and it was done!

BALSAM BE GONE thanks our local communities for the help given on three Sundays in June to control the destructive Himalayan Balsam on the banks of the rivers Avon and Frome.

Himalayan Balsam is a pernicious alien plant that has invaded the paths and banks of our local rivers. We found it was particularly prevalent where the ground had been disturbed laying the new path between Tess’ gate and Westwood, and around willow trees on the banks of both rivers. However, the heroic effort of the Balsam Begonners has put paid to its spread, and one person in particular (you know who you are!) went beyond the call of duty, turning up on all three Sundays and suffering stings from nettles and bees in their fearless quest to destroy the weed. We extend a special thanks to this intrepid Begonner, and to everyone else for their help and support. BUT … a few plants may have escaped; so when you’re walking along the banks of the rivers please continue to pull them out!

Thanks to FLiSCA, FLEWG, The Inn at Freshford and The Cross Guns for their support.
