Festival says it with flowers
SHIPBOURNE church was filled with flowers over the bank holiday weekend to celebrate the refurbishment of the Lady Vane chapel and the completion of work to the roof.
Member of the congregation Lynette Sargent suggested the idea for the flower festival as a celebration as one had not been held in the church for more than 20 years.

Miss Sargent said: "The church looked wonderful. There were about 25 displays and it was unbelievable."
