Rest In Peace Frank


Our dear friend Frank Ashton, organist and choirmaster of St Mary's for 43 years, passed away on 1st April.

His funeral will be held in church at 1.30 pm on Thursday 21st April and the choir will sing.
There will be a choir practice for the service in church on Wednesday 20th at 6.30pm. All current and former choir members are invited to attend, both the practice and the funeral, to give thanks for his service to God, our church and the choir and, of course, to celebrate his life!
God bless you Frank and rest in peace.
