Later this year I have been granted a 3 month period of Extended Study Leave (aka Sabbatical).

As part of this study leave I intend to go to India to carry on with my study into Saint Thomas the Apostle and his founding of the church across South India.

However, I have to raise over £4,750 to cover the costs. Whilst I am able to get some grants, it is likely that I will need to raise up to £3,000 myself.

So as the 16th March is also my 52nd Birthday, you are all invited to Coffee and Cake at the Vicarage, where I hope you might make a donation to my travel fund in exchange for some cake, coffee or tea - and perhaps take part in a raffle.

Hundon, All Saints

This is a large, Perpendicular building, finished not long before the Reformation. No doubt it enjoyed all the ups and downs of the 17th Century religious wars, the long 18th Century sleep of the Church of England, and the vibrancy and energy of the 19th Century revival. But it is hard to tell now, because the church was completely destroyed by fire one night in February 1914, shortly before the outbreak of the Great War. 

The interior successfully retains a sense of the past, and heavens be praised the windows are all full of clear glass. There is plenty of open space of course, but intriguing little details - a wheatsheaf salvaged from an 18th Century memorial, the south chancel aisle panelled with dark wood from the vicarage, surviving roof timbers forming a cross in the south aisle.

A wide, light, simple interior, then, ideally suited for modern Anglican spirituality.
