Surlingham

Many thanks to Ros Cole who has been able to identify the schoolchildren with the Church handbells in the June to July 2024 edition of ElevenSays.

The church handbells were renovated by Mark Walland earlier this year thanks to the generosity of the community. They were originally bought from The Church Bell Foundry on Whitechapel Road in London on 30th September 1899. The church still has the original receipt for £6 15/- (£6.75).

Surlingham Church is hoping to use the renovated bells as often as possible in future.

Lee is performing tomorrow instead of Sunday 30th June, as advertised previously. Come and join us for a great afternoon.

All allo all, just a quick message to say our farm reared belted Galloway fresh beef has just arrived! And just in time for the weekend too. I don’t want to jinx it (too late), but we may see some sunshine. For this we have sausages, burgers, steaks, joints, mince (the 2 for one offer still stands, find the offer written on the stand up fridge) and much much more…

Have a super weekend all. Just a reminder too that the stand up freezer is back up and running and stocked to the rafters with ready meals, meats, pizzas and more…
