Our churches came together at a special service when our priest in charge, Revd Gary Cregeen, was instituted as Rector. It was a significant moment for the churches and villages and an uplifting and encouraging event. Communion chalices given to both Ashburnham and Penhurst churches dating back to the 17th century were brought back from Chichester Cathedral to be used. We enjoyed a cream tea at Ashburnham Place afterwards.
