from the Church Elders of St. Mary's Weston

Weston on Trent has been a village for some years and there has been a church for the last 200 years at least near the cliff. We have recently lost our Rector, but the Elders expect a new incumbent imminently. The elders believe that the new charter (see below) will not effect the day to day running on the church.

Hopefully Weston can avoid the troubles that we hear of in other areas of England. The Sheriff we are sure will come to understand the ways of the village now that he has moved into Weston Hall.

There have also been reports of a Witch who has recently saved an Oak Tree. The elders would like to state that they do not approve of Witchcraft and they trust that this incident will be soon forgotten.

Did you know ....?

The Sheriff of Nottingham is actually the Sheriff of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. He is responsible to the King, or at present his deputy Prince John, for the local justice in this area.

The rumours in the taverns in the village of an apparition seen travelling late at night are completely groundless. Parishioners should not be afraid ... there is no such thing as an "Egg Lady". However anyone who sees Mystic Mégane (Marianne Bamkin) should really be afraid!

Derby and Nottingham may one day be even bigger than Weston if they continue to grow at their present rate.

On the 11th January, Prince John signed a royal charter confirming the grant of the "Soke" of Weston to the Abbott of St Werburgh in Chester. (Anyone finding the "soke" should leave it behind the bar).

Mail can still be forwarded to those at the crusades via Castle Donington International Pigeon Port. Special thoughts this week for Robin of Loxley (Diane Poole) who has been away for some years.

A free crust will be available to all families at this months coffee morning. These will be handed out by Much on behalf of his Father.

Second Prize in the raffle has been contributed by your village elders. The prize will be a bottle of Blind Pugh's Universal Remedy.
