St Mary's was delighted to take part in this year's Ginger & Spice Festival on Saturday 28th September. The church was part of the Heritage Trail covering nearly 50 Gingerbread Characters and we welcomed over 150 visitors. We were surprised but happy to discover that the children on the trail had chosen our Alfie Hewitt gingerbreadman as their favourite. The Ginger & Spice report follows:
