A Step Back In Time ~ Our Medieval Heritage
St Mary’s Hornby
A Medieval Evening at St Mary’s Church Hornby
on 25th March 2023
In order to celebrate this rich history of St Mary’s Hornby we are holding a Medieval Evening on 25th March. This will combine medieval drink, food, and jollity with some fascinating talks about life in Medieval times.
We are very lucky to have some brilliant speakers: Dr Jeremy Goldberg, Reader in Medieval History at the University of York; and Erik Matthews, Director of the Hornby archaeology project. Erik will set the scene by telling us about the medieval history and archaeology of the local area, and then Dr Goldberg will talk about “Life in the Later Medieval Countryside”, focusing on what life was like for ordinary people 6-700 years ago.
Medieval drinks and bites will be served before and between the talks, and there will be a medieval supper afterwards.
Dr Sue Bianco, our Licensed Lay Minister in the benefice and also a medievalist (having taught Medieval literature for many years) will lead us through a Medieval grace before supper.
The evening will start at 6.00 pm; tickets are £20.00 each (£10 for those under 18’s).
All proceeds go to the work of St Mary’s Church Hornby
St Mary’s Church Hornby, DL8 1NQ

All Souls Service
Wednesday 2nd November
18:00 St Gregory’s Crakehall
As the leaves begin to fall
we pause to remember
those we love
but see no more
Please come and join us at our
All Souls Commemoration Service
Each year we hold a service of commemoration at All Souls tide
to remember before God all who have died and to comfort one another as we find ways to live without their presence with us.
This year the service will be held at St Gregory’s Crakehall starting at 6 pm on Wednesday 2nd November. During the service, we read out names that we have been asked to remember and offer each other the space to light a candle in memory of loved ones who are no longer with us. If you would like a name included in the service let us know by calling Rev’d Chris on 01677 937 124
or by email via our contact form
