Church Tours
We organise tours around Churches in our diocese and beyond for which there is a nominal fee.
The first one was on Saturday 24th June and visited Shenstone Church and Old Tower, Wall, Chasetown St Anne and Shareshill. Photos of the excellent day out are below.
The second one was on Saturday 29th July visiting Church Eaton (Flower festival), Bradley and Moreton. There are a number of photos (somewhat random) below. Two of them show Bishop Matthew presenting the plate to John Baddeley for the best entry for Ride and Stride last year, that is most churches visited on the day.
The third tour will will be on September 24th - Covering Ingestre, Great Haywood RC and Colwich churches. The last will provide a tea.
Do please consider joining a tour - they are very informative and a good day out!
Please show early interest by emailing Katie Brown at admastonfarm@outlook.com
