Rogation Walk 2018

The sun shone on the annual Rogation Walk

It was a fine spring day for the annual Rogation walk from St. Chad’s to St. Mary’s at Patshull on Sunday 6th May 2018. There were 34 people – and 4 dogs – making the journey.

Prayers were said on the way and at St. Mary’s the bells were rung by the St. Chad’s bellringers. 45 people were at the service, which was conducted by the Vicar, Rev. Preb. Maureen Hobbs. John Fellows accompanied the singing of the hymns on the keyboard.
