Harvest Festival

Up

 

Our Harvest Service this year took place on the evening of Sunday 17th October 04 and was a truly uplifting experience.

Children from Great Witley Church of England Primary School under the direction of their dedicated headmaster Harry Lewis gave a presentation on an Harvest theme to a full church of parents and local people which was both moving and beautifully executed!

Local retired priest Rev. Robin Walter put the service together but was unwell himself and passed the reins to Rev. Brian Dickson.

The produce so generously given is donated to Astley Hall Retirement Home.

Our thanks to all concerned and we look forward to doing it again about the same time next year. Come and join us.

Britain's finest Baroque Church.  St. Michael and All Angels Church, Great Witley,  A443 Worcester - Tenbury Wells road, 10 miles north-west of Worcester.    As the parish church for the villages of Great Witley and Little Witley  it is used regularly for services and concerts. The church is open to visitors daily. The church, now almost fully restored, displays a splendour which is unique amongst country churches in Britain, with exquisite gilded decorations throughout, numerous paintings by Antonio Bellucci, ten painted glass windows depicting scenes from the New Testament, highly decorative carving and a large monument by Rysbrack. It also has a fine organ, its case being from the instrument on which Handel played.   Many musicians consider its acoustics for music to be as fine as any building of its size outside London
