This week we had our Memorial Stability Test. Some of the headstones in our Church yard were deemed unsafe. This is common in a Church yard of this age. If you know a loved one is buried at St Peter's, you may wish to check on the headstone. If it has a yellow tag on it, as seen in this photo, please do not remove the tag, but contact the Church Office on 01270 766557. Obviously, visitors to the Church yard should be mindful of which headstones have tags and should keep clear of those graves.
