Latest Guild News:

  • There has been recent attempts to start a fire at both Brinklow and Monks Kirby. In each case lighted candles were put inside cupboards that contained flamable materials. Please keep an eye open for suspicious activities near your church.
  • Radford Semele church was gutted by fire on Sunday 16th March - only the stone walls are standing. The tower roof is off and therefore the outlook for the bells is not good. There has been a most kind offer from Offchurch to ring their bells until such time as there is a ring back at Radford. Pictures of the damaged church can be seen here. The bells have been removed by Taylors and are likely to require recasting.
