Civic Service at Malmesbury Abbey

Sunday, 26th June - My wife and I attended Choral Evensong at Malmesbury Abbey in England's oldest Borough. This was well attended despite very heavy rain accompanying us as we processed from the Town Hall.

The Service was also a blessing for the new Mayor of Malmesbury, Wayne Jones. He, his wife Caroline, members of Malmesbury Town Council, many Mayors and Dignitaries from across Wiltshire were also joined by James Gray, the local MP and Allison Bucknell, Vice Chair of Wiltshire Council.

The choral singing was spectacular, but one would expect no less as the Vicar, Neil Archer, spent some 20 years as an opera singer prior to his ordination.

Impressive surroundings, wonderful singing and a true joining together of Church and the Community.
