An all-age walk from Llangrove to Welsh Newton from 10.30 to 3pm, with a variety of activities (some involving chocolate!) telling the Easter story as we go. There'll be stops along the way, including at houses where you can use the loo, and you can join us either for part or all of it. At the end there's a short family service at Welsh Newton Church (optional!) which you're very welcome to join us for, followed by hot cross buns!
Please bring a picnic lunch and dress for mixed weather and mud! Suitable for children, but there is quite a lot of walking and some fairly steep hills.
NO NEED TO BOOK - MEET AT LLANGROVE VILLAGE HALL AT 10.30am.

St Mary’s Welsh Newton

Welcome to St Mary the Virgin, Welsh Newton – a peaceful, rural church with a fascinating history and a vibrant present.

The church is open 24/7 for private prayer, and every Sunday we have either a service or a Christian meditation where you are very welcome, whether you’re a regular churchgoer or have never been to church before. For details of all this and more, see our website, and if our service times don’t work for you, have a look at the other churches in the area - see our benefice website.

St Mary the Virgin is a 13th century church which belonged to the Knights Templar until 1312. Look out for the unusual stone rood screen, the sanctuary seat, Norman font, the medieval preaching cross and the grave of St John Kemble, a Roman Catholic martyr put to death in 1679.
