Turners Hill Village Matters to St Leonard's Church.

As the parish church St Leonard's has an important role in the village community.  All villagers are entitled to be baptised, married and buried at the church.  You do not have to be a regular worshiper, just a resident.

However, the church needs the support of the village if it is to remain open for the village.  Support for activities and events, not just financial (although that is, of course, important)!  On that topic: the PCC would really appreciate assistance in tidying up the churchyard and so forth.  If you feel able to assist us please call the Church Office on 01342 718741

Community Goings on

A space for any village organisation to pass on news, information, event announcements and so forth.  The aim is to have a monthly cycle but items may be posted more frequently when appropriate.  Just email your content including a suitable title to: This email address is being protected from spambots.

The Friends

The Friends of St Leonard’s is for everyone who cares for the beauty and traditions of this grade II listed building church building, whether or not they are resident in Turners Hill.  Whilst many members of the regular church congregation have become members, the Friends was specifically set up by Anwyn Daniels to enable a much broader range of individuals and businesses to contribute and to have a say in how funds are spent. Many people who live in Turners Hill, work here or visit are concerned to see that we pass on our village church to future generations in the same good condition that we received it from our forebears.

Our heritage and its maintenance

Whilst a relatively recent church building, consecrated in 1895, successive generations have cared for the church, but there are no large endowments and the cost of maintenance must be met by raising funds locally. St Leonard’s has to be inspected every five years by a diocesan architect who recommends spending that he considers necessary and sets the priorities. The need for repairs may also arise due to the effects of unforeseen events, such as storm damage and other "weather events".

Recent Events

THE ARTS SOCIETY TURNERS HILL

The Arts Society Turners Hill started 30 years ago and has developed an enviable reputation as a friendly open society where it is not necessary to have any prior knowledge of Art. We provide monthly illustrated talks, Special Interest Day’s and outings.

We are affiliated to The Arts Society and take great pride in the breadth and quality of our programme of accredited speakers who talk across a wide range of subjects from painting and architecture to jewellery, costumes, music and gardens.

We are pleased to offer two excellent talks in April and May.

On Tuesday 22nd April Simon Whitehouse talks on ‘Wilde about Oscar- Famous for being Famous (and Infamous)’

On Tuesday 27th May Hilary Williams talks on ‘The Frick Collection, New York -A Feast for the Eyes’

The talks start at 10.50 but coffee is served from 10.15am.

We continue to meet at the Dunlop Hall in the Ark at Turners Hill. The meetings commence with coffee and finish, if you wish to stay after the talk, with a buffet lunch and glass of wine in the Dove Suite for an extra £10.

Visitors are welcome to the talk for a small fee of £7, and we are taking new members.

For more details look at our website https://theartssocietyturnershill.org.uk/ Contact me , we would love you to join us.

The St Leonard's bell ringers are a keen enthusiast group that has a practice night during the lighter /warmer evenings , Monday at 6.30 through until about 8. We managed to gain two new permanent ringers at our last recruitment and always open for any more interested to learn.

There are seven local ringers and three that we gain on the odd occasion.

The better sound is at least 5 ringers and whenever we get that five we ring on a Sunday.

We love ringing for weddings and have a few booked in for this year.
