Fifield Bavant Bell Turret

The South Wilts Church Magazine dated October 1909 says:-

"THE BELL TURRET. - This little addition to our parish Church is now very nearly finished. It will give a finish to the little building and make it look like a Church. When the workmen depart we shall have from one source or another to find the money to pay the builder. Mr Herrington of the farm will be most pleased to receive any donation however small towards the extinction of this necessary debt."

Message from Chalke Valley Churches Team Administrator

Hello all
Please see below an announcement of exciting news in our Benefice…..
"Following an interview with the Chalke Valley Patronage and Appointment Panel on Wednesday last week,
the Bishop has offered the post of Team Rector to The Rev'd Dr Ruth Howlett-Shipley, and we are delighted that Ruth has accepted the post.
A date for Ruth’s Licensing as Team Rector will be determined in due course.
This also means that the recruitment of a Team Vicar to join the team will also begin.
Please pray for Ruth, Jenny, and the other members of the ministry team, as they continue to minister within the Chalke Valley".

Message from Rev'd Catherine Blundell

Dear All,
After 7 ½ years as Team Rector I will be leaving the Benefice in January 2023 when David and I will be moving to our cottage in Devon.
Bishop Andrew has written:
The Revd Catherine Blundell has decided to retire as the Team Rector, with effect from 31st January 2023. Catherine’s last Sunday will be the 8th January 2023.
These last 7 years have been fabulous, sometimes fraught, but full of laughter and joy. I will never forget them, and I will certainly never live in such a beautiful place again. Yes, Devon is lovely, but the Chalke Valley is very special indeed.
I do not know what work I will be doing next, I am not going to another Benefice, instead I will take some time off and listen to God’s call.
This will be unsettling news for some people but there are plans in place to make sure all parishes receive pastoral care and cover on Sunday’s. Jenny and Ruth (who knew about this before she was interviewed), will both lead you all through the vacancy.
This will be a long goodbye and I will get to speak to most of you before we leave.
In the meantime, my sincere thanks, and we will carry on with our plans for the autumn.
Catherine Blundell
Revd Catherine Blundell
Team Rector for the Chalke Valley Churches
