Walking for Paull village church

Mr Eric Acey aged 74yrs set off from Sproatley church on our 10 mile  benefice walk on 25th August 2013, finishing at St Andrew’s for a well earned cup of tea and delicious cake.  A lovely service followed lead by Rev’d Ian Blythe –  after which Eric left for a long  soak in the bath.   What an achievement  at 74yrs old

Eric was supporting Paull village church and Burstwick church, he  raised £500 which is to be split between them.

Our sincere thanks go to Eric for his humongous effort, time and support, ” you always give 100%”  which is  very much appreciated.

Fishermen of Paull

On Saturday 10th August 2013 Mr Colin Screeton kindly presented the church with CD copies of stories told by the two last remaining fishermen of Paull, these recordings were made in 1985.  The voices are Mr Sam Pickering and Fred Gorbutt.

Members of the above families were present and village people came along with photographs, it was a great nostalgic afternoon. Volunteers of the church would like to thank Colin and his friends for sharing their thoughts and memories. ” It is good to think we have a record of what those days were like and what the culture of the village was years ago”.

The CD’s are fascinating to listen to, any one can pop along to the church you are most welcome to hear them.

The coffee shop within the church is open March to October 2 till 4p pm every Saturday and Sunday, we have the best ever homemade cakes and a toilet facility or if you would like to bring a group to listen to the CD recordings we can open the church for you
