There was a surprise in store at church this morning for the red carpet had been rolled back to reveal a memorial stone in the main aisle.
A hundred years ago St Mary's Church was extended westwards and the tower had to be demolished stone by stone and the re-erected. The church re-opened on September 20th 1910 with a service of dedication attended by the Bishop of Southwell. The memorial stone to the Vicar at the time marks the point from where the Nave was extended. There was also an exhibition at the back of church this weekend showing old photos and documents relating to the alterations.
