BISHOPSTONE CHURCH - The annual meeting of The Church of St Lawrence, Bishopstone was held on February 18 at the church starting at 7.30pm. The main topic on the agenda was the bell turret which has suffered badly from wind erosion. It was agreed that the turret should be repaired as soon as possible. Also

causing considerable concern was the increase in the Parish Share. It

was agreed that each year a massive effort will have to be made to raise the

amount required.
