News and Events

Please note that the service scheduled at All Saints' Church, Hilgay on the 27th September has had to be cancelled. Due to health and safety concerns arising from a number of plaster falls from the ceiling, the decision has been made to temporarily close the church and restrict access. Consequently, there will be no services held at the church whilst we work towards making the building safe again. We will share further updates concerning services for October onwards in due course.
