Martin Platts Final Service (3 photos)

6/3/22: Martin Platts has now left us as church organist and choirmaster, for pastures new at St Giles Rowley Regis - a church much nearer to where he lives.

At the conclusion of our Holy Communion Service on 6/3/22, he regaled us with a glorious rendition of Bach's classic Cantata and Fugue in D Minor, which made full use of our church organ's tonality and voluminous capacity.

Goodbye and good luck Martin - although we will be seeing you again for the occasional wedding at All Saints' and to continue recording our favourite hymns for digital playback.

Remembrance Sunday 2021 (8 photos)

All Saints' Remembrance Sunday Service 2021 started at 10.15am in church. Due to Covid, the space inside was limited to 133 attendees. Most pews were allocated in advance, in association with Sedgley Royal British Legion, to designated representatives of Sedgley's uniformed organisations; and to members of the congregation of All Saints' who booked in advance.

The church service ended at approximately 10.45am, and the congregation made their way to All Saints' Gardens where the new War Memorial is located. Wreaths were laid at the foot of the obelisk by individuals and uniformed organisations.

At 11am a recording of the Last Post was played, there was a Two Minutes' Silence, ended by a recording of the Reveille. Numbers outside were not limited and many local villagers attended.
