The Church has been beautifully decorated by our Flower Ladies, and I strongly recommend you pop in and enjoy both the scene and the aroma. Well done to all who worked so hard to make the place look nice for the Service this afternoon to remember Elisabeth.
Best wishes, Brian

You may be unaware, but I am sorry to announce that our long-term Church member Elisabeth Langley passed away last Monday (10th) at the age of 98. There will be a private family cremation, with a Memorial Service later. I have spoken to members of the family, and offered our condolences.
Elisabeth first visited Snape at the age of five to stay with her grandmother, who lived at the White House in Priory Road. In 1979 the White House became her home when she returned to live in the village, since when she was a most active member of the community, including as a member of the Snape Parochical Church Council and the Women's Institute. In June last year, she took a major role in the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, as the Torch Bearer for the village.
