On Saturday 25 September 2021 an enthusiastic team of FOASW members hacked away at the sometimes dense undergrowth of brambles, nettles, grass and weeds which had grown rapidly in the summer. We also sawed up a fallen tree and put back a headstone cows had knocked over when they got into the church yard earlier in the year. The church yard is now ready for winter and, we hope, wildlife and flowers in the spring.

It is with great sadness that we have to pass on the news that Oliver Prince-White died earlier this year. Oliver was a loyal member of the congregation of St Mary’s South Creake, where he served as a church warden, and of All Saints’ Waterden. He loved Waterden deeply and helped to set up the Friends. Oliver was also instrumental in the restoration of Waterden from the project’s inception to its completion. Our heartfelt condolences go to his widow Sarah,
