On Mon 3/8, three handbell ringers - Paul, Helen, and Julie - will attempt a full peal in our chancel. A full peal on handbells was last achieved at St Laurence's on 25 Nov 1920 - over 100 years ago! The ringers must concentrate carefully, so our chancel will be closed to visitors until 12:30pm. ⬇️

Today, 22 July, is the feast day of Mary Magdalene. There aren't many images of her in St Laurence's, but there is a beautiful representation of her in the Vaughan window in our south aisle (1884). She is shown carrying anointing oil, and depicted alongside the Virgin Mary and Mary of Clopas.
