Benefice celebrates with flowers in Monks Eleigh

2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the Diocese of St Edumundsbury and Ipswich.  The Benefice that comprises Monks Eleigh, Kettlebaston, Milden, Brent Eleigh and Chelsworth celebrated the occasion this weekend with a flower festival and exhibition in Monks Eleigh Church.

Coronation memorabilia

 The floral arrangements and other displays all reflected events from the last 100 years, including the Coronation and both World Wars.   Old photographs showed Monks Eleigh in the 1950's and nostalgic artefacts were employed to remind us of days gone by.

Commemorating WWll

All of the flower arrangements were lovely, and most original, and it has been very difficult to select which to show here.
