The Archdeacon's Inspection was this year actually carried out by the Archdeacon. We were blessed with Archdeacon Jonathan Smith the Archdeacon of St Albans visiting our churchwardens Jane and Michael on Friday 31st July to inspect our parish records and documentation. After giving us a clean bill of health he proceeded to inspect the church building itself to make sure we are looking after the church property in a fit manner. We are delighted to report he was pleased with everything he saw though he did spot some ivy starting to climb up the North porch. Jonathan quickly took on the role of gardener and removed the offending plant.
Inspections are an annual event and in a three year rotation the inspections focus upon, as well as church records, the building, the churchyard and the inventory.
