Rev Helen has been tasked to unite our parish of ‘Redgrave cum Botesdale with the Rickinghalls’ with the parishes within the old benefice of North Hartismere. There are six parishes in North Hartismere - Palgrave, Wortham, Burgate, Thrandeston, Stuston and Broom with Oakley. These seven parishes will form a new benefice which is, as yet, un-named!

It is planned to hold united benefice services and the first of these will be held on December 29th at St Mary’s, Rickinghall.
