Work on trees in the Churchyard at St Mary's, Conistone

You may have seen that tree surgeons have done some work on trees in the churchyard of St Mary’s Church, Conistone. This follows a tree survey which identified work which needs doing to trees in the churchyard, in some cases for safety reasons.
The Parochial Church Council for Upper Wharfedale and Littondale is in the process of seeking to organise further work in the churchyard. If the necessary permissions are forthcoming, we hope that this work will start shortly.  
We will put further information about this work on this page when we have more details that we can share, and we will also seek to publicise the details of the work, including timings, by other means.

Will you support our Link magazine?

For many years, the costs of producing The Link have been covered by the advertising revenue and the donations received through the annual envelope appeal. However, a smaller number of advertisers, combined with higher printing costs, has left us with a shortfall in the last two years.
Last year’s survey showed how much parishioners value the Link and it plays such a key part in getting information to all corners of our parish.
Faced with another shortfall this year, your contribution is more important than ever, so please consider making a donation towards the ongoing costs of keeping this important publication in production.  
It’s really easy to do. You can click on the button above to make a payment online, or alternatively place cash or a cheque in the envelope contained in February’s edition of The Link.
Many thanks for your support.
Nick Davies,
Treasurer, Upper Wharfedale & Littondale PCC.
