Well done to all who participated in the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust (SHCT) 'Ride and Stride' last weekend. A number of people from across the Benefice took part, visiting churches in Ipswich, within this Deanery and beyond. Fifty percent of funds raised goes to the Trust to support churches across Suffolk with the remainder going to the participants' nominated churches. Thank you also, to those who stayed in their churches to welcome the travellers. This was very much appreciated by all who visited. Rachel

The Suffolk Historic Churches Trust has decided to go ahead with this year’s Ride and Stride, and Pedal and Drive for vintage and classic cars. Not all churches may be open, and there may be no one to welcome or sign you in. Churches that usually offer refreshments may decide not to do so this year and, if a church is not manned, riders and walkers will log the name of the church themselves. Please support this free annual event. Half your sponsor money will go to the Trust to be given in grants for church repairs, and half will go to the church of your choosing.
