Today we remember the fallen from Meltham and the surrounding areas of Helme and Wilshaw. Their names will be read out during the Remembrance service which starts at 10:30am.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

This wonderful display of 600 poppies was created from the wreaths laid last year. It continues with a further 200 poppies inside the church.

Thank you to Margaret Thorley and Tom Bolland who salvaged the poppies from the wreaths last year and glued them onto the skewers. Also to Margaret Walker who helped ‘plant’ them in the pouring rain……and anyone else involved.
