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*.

Community Matters Foodbank, Trinity Church, Lane End – following the pre-Christmas delivery from Cadmore End, the Community Matters Team wrote thanking us immensely for our support. Because of the huge amount of beautiful Christmas donations as well as generous gifts of money, they had enough wonderful and useful items from all the surrounding churches to give a very generous Christmas food donation to each of 24 Lane End families/households (including 45 children).

Our next delivery is on Thursday16th January. Please leave donations in the porch at Picket House, Cadmore End on Wednesday 15th or by 10am on the 16th.

Information on Nave Roof Re-tiling

A contract to re-tile the Nave Roof has been signed with a start date of Monday 7th October (duration of project 18weeks) with a finish date of 21st February 2025). This grade 2 listed building was built in 1851 and the original Nave roof will be replaced. The work will be carried out by Ward & co who replaced the Chancel Roof in 2017.

Working arrangements-the Church will not be open to the public for the duration of the project and there will be a corrugated 4-metre-high wall around the Nave and a corrugated roof put in place. The side gate will be used for unloading/loading materials and the timber blocks removed. Construction vehicles will be parked by the Lych Gate. Working will be between 7.30am and 4.30pm. Weekend working is not expected.

The usual Sunday 11am services will continue each week in the Village Hall. For special services (Carol Services and Christmas Day) the Nave may be opened.
The Monthly “Coffee and Chat” morning will be held in the Village Hall as will the next Social History Event (16th November) and the Ukelele Concert (6th December).

Suspended until the work is complete in February 2025 - The Church is always open in daylight hours, and there is a place at the back of the church where you may wish to sit, light a candle and reflect or pray. There are a number of church books which visitors are welcome to read .Our lovely churchyard is a place where people are always welcome to sit and reflect as well as tending the graves of loved ones.
