At the meeting on 7th May Joan Cottle an Official Guide gave a most interesting talk on Lambeth Palace, covering history, religious aspects and current events. Members were enthralled for over an hour by this very knowledgeable and fluent speaker.
recent questionnaire for older parishioners
yielded a gratifying 140 responses. Many commented on the steepness of Edge Hill and the problems that causes as we age. There were comments on liturgy and excellent suggestions on a myriad of church-related subjects.
