Church Events

Tuesday 7th January 10.30am to noon​Coffee & Chat + Bring & Buy in the Village Hall

Cadmore End C of E School provided early Christmas cheer with their choir singing Christmas songs at Rackleys and at the December Coffee Chat morning in the Village Hall. These and their Nativity play “Prickly Hay”, much appreciated.

The Carol Singers turned out for three evenings in all weathers and raised £430 for the Christian Aid Charity. The Christmas Eve house to house singing around Cadmore End has been done every year for 50 + years. We thank them for the joy they bring to each house.

Other activities -

The Nave Roof Project – Progress has been good despite some inclement weather. The extent of timber replacement and masonry repairs has proved to be less than originally considered necessary. Subject to unforeseen events, it is hoped that the church will re-open by the start of March. Until then, as before, expect construction vehicles to be parked by the Lych Gate during working hours 07.30 – 16.30h (weekend working not expected).

Funding for Cadmore End - Lane End Parish Council (‘LEPC’) has recently announced that it welcomes ‘Parish-based organisations seeking funding for projects that are meaningful and would benefit the community’. Cadmore End has submitted Expressions of Interest in respect of both the restoration of the church nave roof and the upgrading of the village hall toilets and kitchen. The funds will come from the anticipated sale by LEPC to Nicholas King Homes Ltd. who on 20 December received planning approval from Buckinghamshire Council for their proposed development of 26 new homes on Chalkyfield, Marlow Road*.
