• This week’s services and events, 5-12 November

    Dear All

    I hope you are keeping well. Here is this week’s news from the Benefice and Barn:

    This Sunday’s services (Nov 5th) are 9.30am Communion at Claxton and 11am Morning Prayer at Carleton St. Peter. We’re gathering in The Barn at 4pm for Still with Saints – a warm invitation to all to

    come and be Still on All Saints’ Sunday, with music, silence, creative response and refreshment
    as we contemplate the Community of Saints who guide and bless our living.
    On Monday (6th) Warm Welcome at The Barn begins its weekly Winter opening between 11am and 4pm. Drop in to see us and enjoy hot drinks, homemade cakes, soup and more!
    At this week’s Online Art Cafe on Wednesday (8th, 10.30am), we’re looking at Wilf Perreault: In the Alley. Wilf is a Canadian artist whose work focusses on the vanishing world of the alleyway. Here is your Zoom invitation.
    The following Sunday (Nov 12th) is Remembrance Sunday. We will remember those who gave their lives from our villages and pray for peace and justice in our world today at our morning services: Rockland St. Mary at 9.30am; 10.50am at Bramerton, Claxton, Kirby Bedon and Surlingham.

     Looking further ahead, we’re holding our annual Tree of Light Service on Sunday December 3rd, 3.30pm. This service is intended to support anyone who’s bereaved and invitation cards and stars will be placed in the back of church in the week ahead. Please feel free to contact me or Helen for further information.  

    Thank you to everyone who has generously donated to Bishop Graham’s Ahli Hospital Appeal online or via The Rectory. I have forwarded £180 towards the hospital’s vital work.

     Best wishes,

     Nick

  • Traffic in the village – October update

    We have now had the Speed Monitor for the whole of 2023 to date and expect to keep it for the whole year, dependent on whether Langley with Hardley Parish Council can find someone who can be trained to manage it for their regular 3-month rotations.

    For the whole of October the Monitor was outside the Village Hall facing north towards Rockland and Norwich.  The table below covers the whole month.

  • Traffic in the village – September update

    The shared SAM2 speed monitor is still in Claxton!  Langley with Hardley Parish Council have still not found a volunteer to run the SAM2 so it stays with us for the time being.  It was not even mentioned in their September meeting so may have slipped right off their radar.

    The table below covers the whole month of September.
