Please click the following link for progress details. Please consider making a donation to the Church Vicarage Fund. E.g. donate your tax refund. All such donations will be treated as donations for this years’ tax refund. Please use your name and “vicarage” as your references.

Please note there will be a scheduled disruption to vehicle access along Smallfield Lane between Wednesday 9 September and the following Wednesday 16 September, for fitting water and power connections. Residents will still be able to access their properties but will have to wait a few minutes for a temporary road plate to be put over the trench to allow their vehicles access.
