Church and Coronavirus
The PCC met in February and decided that in line with government guidelines we would start having drinks after the service once more. We know that some people value this time to socialise and have all missed this. We are still encouraging people to be sensible about what they do and if people still wish to wear masks and maintain social distancing, we will respect that choice.

Patronal Festival
Every year we gather to give thanks for the life of St James the Apostle and God’s work across our parish. Join us for a celebration this year as we give thanks in our Evening Worship, when the Bishop of Repton will be with us and preach the sermon.

The Fallen from Smisby
Thanks to more research by Garry Margerrison we now have finally identified the details for all of the fallen that we remember at Smisby. We now have not just their rank and service numbers but where they died and where they are buried including those from WW2 on who we previously had no information.
