Parish news: I was sorry to hear that the editor of the Bodiam and Ewhurst Parish Nnews Liz Moore is to step down after the December 2017/January 2018 issue of the parish news. Liz will be happy to talk through the role and keep the magazine fresh and at all times moving forward. If anyone would like to talk through the roll call Liz on (01580) 752052.

Alfred Hurley: it was a full church for the service of the late Alfred Hurley at St Giles and I hope as many as possible went to the Cross Inn afterwards to share their memories of Alfie’s life. We have lost yet one more long time resident of Bodiam.
