RBL CENTENARY CONCERT

A lovely concert featuring the Orthopaedic Male Voice Choir and Of One Accord mixed choir was recently held at All Saints. A wonderful evening of music!

RBL Centenary 2024

“His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire Mrs Anna Turner JP came to All Saints’ Church, Baschurch on Sunday 28th January 2024 to celebrate the Centenary of the Baschurch, Bomere Heath and District Branch (1924 – 2024) of The Royal British Legion.

The Branch members were introduced to the Lord Lieutenant by the Branch President, before the Church service.

 The service was conducted by Rev. Linda Cox. The Lord Lieutenant read a letter of congratulations from His Majesty King Charles III. The Bible readings were delivered by the Deputy Lieutenant Gill Hamer, and the Branch Secretary, Jeremy Revans. Prayers were read by the Branch President, Wg Cdr Jon Worrall RAF (Retd).

 After the service, Rev. Linda Cox said prayers and the Lord Lieutenant unveiled a new Branch Centenary Bench in the Memorial Garden at All Saints’, Baschurch. Refreshments in the Church followed, with a ceremonial cutting of the Royal British Legion Cake by the Lord Lieutenant, and the congregation were able to review a display of archive material from the branch.

 The day was a great success and enjoyed by all. A fitting tribute to all those that have kept our RBL branch going for the past 100 years.”

Churchyard Awards

Congratulations to everyone at All Saints’ who lovingly maintain the churchyard, for being awarded the Best Kept Churchyard in the Diocese. Previously the church had won a gold award but this time came out top overall. Lots of hard work goes into looking after the grounds and much thought to ensure that it is a haven for wildlife. Well done!
