St Nicholas Cublington

St Nicholas Church
By about 1400 the village had moved up to its present site and a new church - the present building - built in its centre. Many of the materials of the old church, stone and timber were re-used in the new one and some of the fittings like the old parish chest brought up. This old parish chest, the oldest in Buckinghamshire, is still in use today. Furthermore a brass table in the chancel of the present church records the death of one John Dervyle who died in 1410 as ’the first rector of this church’, his predecessors being rectors of the old church down the hill

Churchyard Mowing Rota
Each growing season for the last few years, kind-hearted and community-conscious villagers have put their names on to the Church lawn mowing rota. As the spring warmth is already encouraging the grass to grow, may I encourage anyone who is prepared to take a turn (or two) at mowing the church grass to contact me for inclusion on this years rota. Instructions and a full copy of the final rota (which runs from March to October on a weekly basis) will be supplied. Please let me know if I can include you by phoning 682367 or emailing royshons@btinternet.co.uk Many thanks. Steve

Friend’s of St Nicholas Church
The Friend’s of St. Nicholas comprises of a small committee of villagers, chaired by Steve Jenkins. Its purpose is to maintain the fabric of St. Nicholas church, which is recognised as the heart of the village.

To date fundraising has involved social functions, such as Jazz Evenings and a 50/50 Promise auction and the profits from several years 100 Club have funded repairs to:
• Bell tower
• The roof and masonry
• The boundary wall
• Removed the obsolete chimney
• Provided new, safe ladders to the bell tower.

We still have lots to do including, repairs to the brickwork above the porch and replacing the main gates. We will commence fundraising again in the Spring, probably with a second auction.

Please contact Steve through The Crier, if you require any more information
