line via YouTube and its website, St. John’s has taken the decision that it’s time to resume worship. A recent survey of the congregation found that a majority, over 70 people, were keen to be back together on Sundays. Vicar of St. John’s church, Revd. Rick Stordy, said: “It may seem an odd time to be opening the doors, in the middle of a pandemic.
“It’s a huge relief to many who’ve been isolated, missing human warmth and company. It offers our community the chance to explore our spiritual needs. For many, those are just as necessary as work, education or shopping.”

Local residents recall the well being a pleasant place where parents too toddlers or children played. Young girls in bathing costumes on summer days played at beauty competitions walking on the wall top as if it were a catwalk. One Worraller recalls him and his chums drinking the water as they roamed around the area. Neither would be possible now.
With such a rich heritage it was a pity that neglect of the drystone walls had resulted in the deterioration over a couple of generations.
