Nancy May in concert
Friday, 8th August at St Lawrence Church
Classical singer Nancy May, is a vibrant soprano who has guested on and duetted with Russell Watson on his Magnificent Buildings Tour of 2024 and will be doing so again during 2025.
St Lawrence Church has been honoured to engage Nancy to perform in concert on Friday, 8th August to mark the end of World War II (close to the anniversary of VJ Day which as we all know is 15th August). No doubt there will be plenty of patriotic songs along with many numbers from the time.
You can now purchase tickets at www.nancy-may.co.uk.

Parish Council Meeting
Agenda to be published in advance
What is the Parish Council?
Despite our name, we are unconnected to the church but instead are a legally-recognised community council. Our role is threefold.
We are grass roots local government, albeit voluntary and apolitical. The council is consulted by Braintree and Essex Councils on village matters, including planning consultations.
We are responsible for maintenance of Village Greens, lighting, allotments, paths and street furniture, for which we receive a small element of your council tax. What we can’t fix we can raise to the responsible authority.
Finally, the councillors are people wanting to be involved in our community and are active in support of village organisations and events.
