8/11/2020 Remembrance Sunday
Villagers met at the War Memorial at 10:50am for a short Act of Remembrance lead by Liz Waterson. No service followed due to Covid lockdown but people were invited to follow a route of remembrance from the Lych Gate through the church with the “there but not there” transparent figures of Ashprington-fallen in their places with their names and a brief description. At intervals on this route of remembrance there was a prayer or meditation to read. The wooden crosses from the war memorial lined the path to the church.
