Our 150th Anniversary Celebrations this September featured Heritage Open Days, a Historical Lecture and Peregrine Talk. We also enjoyed a very special Michaelmas Procession, Mass on Saturday 29th September and Solemn High Mass on the Sunday.

All gifts and donations in support of the upkeep of the church are gratefully received. Donations of any size can be made easily and safely online via the mydonate button to the right, on this page.

Prebendary Nigel Guthrie is our Vicar here and also at St David’s Church. Fr. Christopher Durrant and the Revd. Alison Whiting are our Curates.

Our Peregrine Falcons chicks have successfully fledged, so the Camera is now off until next spring. Nick Dixon’s 24-page booklet on the History of our Peregrine Falcons, with excellent photos is available from his website.

We honour the memory of the Revd. Dr John Hughes, former Curate of this parish and Dean of Jesus College, Cambridge. whose enthusiasm, encouragement and vision inspired the recent development of St Michael’s heritage and music. Likewise, the late Canon John Thurmer, whose legacy is immeasurable and includes the Glossary compiled for this website, which explores the rich vocabulary of the Church, and also the Constuitudinary. May they rest in peace and rise in glory.
