Emily Bronte’s compelling love story in an adaptation jointly produced by the Oxford Shakespeare Company and Lamplighter Drama. This superlative tale of love and revenge – the tempestuous relationship of Heathcliff and Cathy from children to thwarted adults – is a timeless icon that continues to captivate audiences young and old to this day. This is a live outdoor theatre production.
The OSC are famous for their open air and site-specific productions in exceptional historic venues including Hampton Court and Kensington Palaces, and the Tower of London.
This evening Philip Moore will visit All Saints Slingsby as part of his annual ‘organ crawl’ along the Street Benefice. He will play a series of pieces in Slingsby for about half an hour, from about 7pm onwards. Philip is an internationally-renowned organist and composer, formerly of York Minster, and the event is free, with any donations being split between the Street churches.
Slingby’s organ, by Harrison and Harrison, is considered one of the finest in the area.
There have been Land Rover thefts recently in the wider Ryedale area, and it seems they are getting closer. This just in this morning from the Police via North Yorkshire Community Messaging:
We have had an attempted theft of a Land rover defender in Hovingham overnight. Please check your cctv if you live in Hovingham and please report any suspicious activity to Police and quote incident no 12190109418
Below, Margaret Mackinder explains why more fund-raising is required to secure the future of All Saints’ Slingsby.
All Saints Church Council has recently announced the award of a large Heritage Lottery Grant to enable it to repair the roof using theft-proof materials and install an effective and insurance approved security surveillance system. (See our website post of 30.5.2019 here)
The total cost of the project is £317,443.00. This still
leaves more money to be raised to add to the Lottery Grant award of £232,700. To do this we have applied for over 45 grants,
and have been successful with smaller awards from the Yorkshire Historic Churches Trust, York
Diocese, the All Churches Trust, the Sir
John Priestman Trust and the Garfield Weston Foundation. There have been some
generous individual donations as well as some well-supported fund raising, such
as the recent bridge evening.
The grant award means that the church and village community will not have to bear the full brunt of the disastrous lead theft, and that the church can remain open for the services which mean so much to the community. However, there is still money to be raised, particularly the sum of £6,800 to cover the cost of the CCTV security installation. We need this funding in place before we can go ahead with the project.
Please support our fund-raising efforts this summer. Planned so far are:
An afternoon concert by Terrington Village Choir on Saturday 29th June at 3pm. Tickets are £10 and include a full sit-down afternoon tea in the village hall afterwards. They are available from the Village shop or PCC members, or on the door.
On September 8th there will be a Churchyard
market/coffee morning with guided tour of the church, from 10am to 12pm
If you cannot come to any of these events and would like to make
a donation, please put it in an envelope marked ‘Church Roof Fund’ and put it
thought the letterbox of Porch House, The Green, Slingsby.
All Saints’ Church is an historic Grade ii* listed building, parts of it dating back to medieval times. It is a substantial well-built building which will be there to serve the community for many years into the future. It is little used for church services now as it is part of a large group of churches served by a single priest. It is of course available to everyone for baptisms, weddings and funerals and is open to visit at any time, as is the churchyard. Additional use as a local history centre, including facilities for exhibitions are planned as part of the current project, and other uses to support its future are always under consideration. The Church of England does not fund repairs and the church council and village community it serves have responsibility for its care.
Great to welcome BBC Radio York presenter Jeremy Buxton and Finders Keepers to All Saints Slingsby this morning! Listen again to hear the story of the Slingsby Dragon and Sir William Wyville and come and visit us this Summer!
