Although just outside our Leicestershire area, to say this is no ordinary parish church is definitely an understatement!

Many of you will have noticed that the Church Clocks are working again. Over the last couple of years, due to COVID and funding challenges, it hasn’t been easy to get the Clocks succesfully repaired.

This year’s service will combine both outdoor and indoor elements. The parade will arrive outside St Wilfrid’s Church at approximately 10.40am. Wreaths will be laid on the war memorial and the names of the fallen will be read. A shortened service will then take place inside the church, beginning at approximately 10.50am.

On Thursday 15 September 2022 Stuart Court celebrated 30 years since it was officially opened by the Duchess of Gloucester. It had in fact welcomed its first residents through the door the year before but her diary was already booked up until September 1992!

On 25 September, the church was packed for our annual Harvest Festival. Gifts of Cash and Goods were received for ‘The Well’ Food Bank.

This series of looking at churches in the Chronicle distribution area started by visiting the magnificent, the cream of architecture style, St John the Baptist church at Kings Norton. Almost in the shadow of that church is St Michael and All Angels at Illston-on-the-Hill. There is an excellent three mile circular walk one can do from Illston church to Kings Norton and back via Gaulby. It is a SWANS - short walk and no stiles - exercise ideal for winter days and is thoroughly recommended. Alas it is all on tarmac roads but these tend to be quiet.
