Special note for relatives and friends
who have the cremated remains of loved ones buried in the churchyard
Holy Trinity Churchyard,
Eccleshall
Cremated remains
There is to be a
tidying of the area for cremated remains (north-east of the churchyard).
This follows an inspection by the Archdeacon some months ago, and it is
authorised by the Diocese of Lichfield (Faculty no. 3641, a copy of
which can been seen in the church porch).
The purpose is to
put the area back into the position it should be in: only plaques are
permitted, and they need to be low enough to allow mowing.
This notice is to
give families/next-of-kin the chance to make the changes themselves
during January 2012, if they so wish. Alternatively, the church council
will effect the change in February and March 2012.
This will involve
the removal and disposal of all extraneous objects (e.g. borders,
chippings, stones, planted shrubs/bushes), the lowering of tablets, the
repositioning of flower-receptacles, and re-seeding.
Previous
notification of this change has occurred in the parish magazine, and
within the churchyard since April 2011.”

The church building and the
beautifully maintained graveyard are
certainly well worth a visit, especially on a sunny day.
In common with the remainder of this small country town,
the church contains many historic features some dating back to the 11th
century. |
Church life is not all of the time spent in the church and the
members of the church have a pretty active social life.
In addition many of the groups meet in members homes such
as the Bible Study Group.
|
Services are held every
Sunday at 8am, 10am and 6.30pm here at Holy trinity with an 11.30am service
held at our sister church St Chad's at Slindon
just down the road. |
