St Andrew’s Cedar Tree
The tree has been a landmark at St Andrew’s for as long as the church has existed on the site possibly longer. Proposals of Marriage have been made beneath its canopy except sadly over the past three years this has contained progressively less foliage. Kindly passers-by have for some time been warning us of the tree’s decline. In view of this, specialist advice has been sought in view, of Health and Safety implications and the duty of the Vestry to be vigilant. The advice sadly confirms that the tree is now all but dead. We now have little alternative but to seek a second opinion from the National Park Tree Preservation Officer and at the same time submit an application for eventual removal.

Advent 2
O Lord, raise up we pray thee thy power
and come among us,
and with great might succour us;
that whereas, through our sins and wickedness
we are sore let and hindered
in running the race that is set before us,
thy bountiful grace and mercy
may speedily help and deliver us;
through the satisfaction of thy Son our Lord,
to whom with thee and the Holy Spirit
be honour and glory, now and for ever.
