St. Laurences - Garden of Peace

It is a unique place in the churchyard, open to all for the interment of ashes only. No other commemoration e.g. flowers or plaques are permitted.
Prior arrangements are to be made with incumbent or wardens, who will notify of the procedures and cost.
Names may be entered into a Book of Remembrance on request and space will be provided for a message.

Personal Profile
It is with great pleasure that I would
like to welcome you to St Laurence. Frances,
my wife, and I have received a very warm welcome ourselves, so you will not be
disappointed when you visit St Laurence.
I am also the vicar of the other churches in Ansley and Arley – St
John’s, St Michael’s and St Wilfrid’s.
Being in a rural and farming area in the
north part of Coventry Diocese is like coming home for us. A number of years ago I pastored a church in
rural Norfolk which was mainly surrounded by arable farms with some pigs and
chickens. The strong sense of community life
was something very special. This should
be particularly valued in these days when many folk live such individual,
separate and often lonely lives.
We
have just had hot off the press a visiting card which I hope reflects what our
church stands for: ‘You will not walk alone.
Together we are with you on life’s journey’. Over these next weeks, months and years, I
hope we can get to know you better and that you will find Frances and myself
not just ‘churchy’ people but friends as well, who enjoy life and plenty of
laughter!
