Events at St Mary's Chilton in 2015

The Crane Memorial, St Mary's Church, Chilton.

The Friends of St Mary’s Church in Chilton, just to the North of Sudbury,  have planned a programme of events over the rest of 2015.

Although now looked after by the Churches Conservation Trust, services are still held at the Grade 1 listed church and a number of fund raising events are also planned. 

On April 19^th at 3 p.m. Richard Crighton will performThe Summoning of Everyman, which is described as ‘an interactive mediaeval morality play’, and on 19^th July at 3 p.m. there will be concert by Stour Winds.

In the church there is a memorial to a Chilton resident who was killed at Gallipoli, and, fittingly therefore there will be a commemorative event to mark the campaign in the Dardenelles one hundred years ago on August 25^th at 3 p.m.

In September Harvest Festival will take place on 13^th of the month at 3p.m. and on 19^th at 7 p.m. another of the popular quiz nights (lit by hurricane lamp and candles) will be held.  The Church will also be open on 12^th September for the annual Historic Church’s bike ride.

In December there will be a concert by the Trinity Singers on 12^th and the Carol Service will be held on 13^th.

The church is also open on selected Sunday afternoons through the rest of the year, including 5^th and 19^th April and 3^rd and 17^th May.  The church has much of interest in its small interior including the stunning memorials to the Crane family, pictured above.
