Hi, Fourth week completed, and the May Day holiday
enjoyed. I have also learned how to Morning chores In Newent
a book about the town talks of being now in the 'noughty' era. (Noughts
and Crosses revisited). Clever!
May God smile on you today, Elizabeth
Mitcheldean has a church, Post Office, shops, Medical Centre,
and an old Xerox factory.
The street from the other end, showing overhanging upper
stories of the older houses.
Turn around for this stunning view of the church,
set in the middle of the village.
Just inside the main door of the church is the font, with a
list of Clergy on the wall. We chatted to a lady, who told us that the
small pipe organ has 'died', and that the spire has a crumbling base. The
church has been widened twice in the past.
Rainbow - notice Derek's Four Sisters, the trees on the
horizon.

Recumbent effigies of a Knight and his lady, dated 1370-85

This
monument has been in place so long that records on it's identity have been
lost.
Clergy list back to 1301 (with some gaps)
The central pillar holding up the roof is the backdrop for
the Communion Table. Pews have centre partitions.
