Recent inspection of the churchyard revealed several gravestones which were found unsafe. As the safety of the public is paramount, the Sherbourne Parochial Church Council has decided to make these monuments safe by laying them down until the owners (family of the deceased) can be contacted. It is the responsibility of the owner to repair the monument to a safe condition. Sherbourne PCC are particularly interested in finding relatives of the following persons buried in the churchyard: - Gertrude and Edward Sydenham - Albert Needle - Arthur John Armstrong - William Cuthbert - Susan Caroline Drummond - William Neale If you have any information which can help us trace the family of these deceased persons, please contact the Vicar, Rev David Jessett or Churchwarden, Gail Frost. [Back to top] Sherbourne Parochial Church Council The Parochial Church Council has a major role to play in enforcing the authority of the Church of England in the local community. It is a complicated body for it has to carry out a mixture of spiritual, legal, financial pastoral and missionary functions. The PCC has responsibilities not only to the congregation of the parish church but to all parishioners, i.e. to all the people, who live in the parish, regardless of their denomination or faith or creed. The PCC shares the privilege and responsibility of making decisions with the priest, and in return it co-operates with the clergy in the whole mission of the Church. This gives great emphasis on the part played by lay people in the parish. However, co-operation, communication and consultation are clearly extremely important for the success of this partnership between clergy and lay people. Working within the organisation of the church of England and under the tenets of Canon Law, the PCC members are in effect trustees of an independent charity. They are responsible for making decisions in the parish, subject to the laws of the land. It is extremely important therefore that the PCC, a mixture of elected lay members and ex officio clergy, works closely together for the benefit of the parish. It is the first level of a complex administrative and management structure of the Anglican Church, which links together the Deanery Synod, the Diocesan Synod and the General Synod. Through this structure important consultations take place, decisions are reached and outcomes are communicated.
Roof Repair Project Completed Support from the local community and numerous grant making trusts and foundations made this project possible. Trusts who supported our Roof Repair Project include: English Heritage and Heritage Lottery Fund; Warwickshire and Coventry Historic Churches Trust; Diocese of Coventry Church Fabric Fund; Historic Churches Preservation Trust; Garfield Weston Foundation; AH Lynall Foundation; Allchurches Trust Limited and the Jill Franklin Trust. What’s Next? We hope to improve the facilities at our church so that it may have more community use. The access audit, completed this year by our architect, highlighted areas where improvements might be made. These included installations for hearing and visually impaired visitors (sound and lighting), toilet facilities (currently the church does not have a water supply) and improved access to the churchyard for visitors in wheelchairs. Currently the PCC is investigating how they might be able to improve the church sound system to achieve the very best sound possible and how they might be able to improve the overall quality of the church's lighting.
