Remembrance garden to be rededicated

The remembrance garden at Christ Church in Speke Street will be rededicated at 10am on 8 November.

The remembrance garden at Christ Church in Speke Street will be rededicated at 10am on 8 November.

The church and a number of generous supporters began work about six months ago to spruce up the garden after it had lain abandoned for many years.

Rev Richard Goodfellow has appealed to members of the public who might have some connection with the church or the remembrance garden to participate in the rededication ceremony which will take place soon after the usual Sunday morning service. He said that members of the community can place a plaque on the wall of remembrance and can also have the ashes of their loved ones buried in the garden.

He hopes that people will come forward at the service and give names of people who they would like to be incorporated in the wall with the names and dates which will be put up early next year.

After the rededication service, breakfast and tea will be served.

Christ Church Grahamstown is unusual in that it is an Anglican Church but it is exempt from the Diocese. Executive power is vested in a board of trustees. The church owes its existence to Rosa Wright (1792 – 1867) who left money in her will to build and endow a church as an offering of thanks for “all the blessings she had received in her adopted country”. The building itself is a replica of an old church in Saxony and is considered one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in the country.

For more information call Rev Richard Goodfellow on 046 622 4006.
