The Silver Band performed a wonderful set of film themes and music reflecting both the first and second world wars including the Sam Busters March and a Nightingale sang in Berkeley Square. Rounding off with songs from the 1st World War in which the congregation joined in. The most poignant part of the entire evening was without doubt the reading of the names of those brave men from Bretforton who fell and playing of the Last Post. This was both an uplifting yet Heart felt service. Well done to all involved for providing not just the music and poetry but the wonderful lighting and the display from the History Group around the Church.

‘Bretforton Remembers –
100 Years On The memorial plaque in St Leonard’s church, Bretforton, records 29 names of Bretforton men who served and died in World War One. In January 2018, Bretforton History Group began researching these men, in this the centenary year of the Armistice. In doing so, the Group has learnt there were more Bretforton men who died – such as Leonard Knight – but for whatever reason, were not remembered on the village’s memorial plaques (located in St Leonard’s church, on the front of Bretforton Memorial Hall, and on the wall in Bretforton Village School hall). A folder of information has been compiled about each of the Bretforton men – and women – who served in World War One, including those who survived. If you would like to view these, or have further information to share about Bretforton during WW1, particularly photographs of those who are represented in the church display by only their regimental cap badges – we would be interested to hear from you. Please contact Fiona Gibson 01386 830815, bretfortonhistory@gmail.com. Can you sing? Have you always thought you can't but would like to find out?!
Then please join us at our weekly practices on a Wednesday evening! Choir Restarts 7th November at 7pm at the church. |
Starting on Wednesday 21st Nov at 10am there will be a Eucharist service every month at St Leonard's.
There are many that can't make Sundays at 9:30am or 6:30pm for Eucharist so hopefully this gives them an alternative time. Contact Margaret Pye for more information pye.margaret@sky.com
