Thursday 5th May may be polling day but it is also Ascension Day when the church celebrates the ascension of Christ to heaven.
To celebrate this there will be a service of Holy Communion (using the Book of Common Prayer) in the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Orchardleigh (BA11 2PH) at 7.30 pm on Thursday 5th May.
David King, churchwarden said, “Do come and join us, the church can be found by following the signs to Orchardleigh House and Golf Club from the Frome to Radstock Road and turning right on the Golf Course – it is signed!”
The Church of St Mary dates back to the 14th Century and sits on a moated island adjacent to the lake on the Orchardleigh estate and due to it’s location has no electricity and all services are illuminated by candlelight and the organ is pumped by hand!
