LANGHAM WITH BOXTED PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL Trustees Annual Report for year ended 31[st] December 2021
Aim and purposes
The Langham with Boxted Parochial Church Council (the PCC) is a body corporate with its functions and powers contained in the Parochial Church Councils (Powers) Measure 1956 as amended by the Synodical Government Measure 1969.
The PCC is charged with co-operating with the parish priest in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It has responsibility for the maintenance of the fabric of the two parish Churches, St Mary's and St Peter’s, and the maintenance of their respective churchyards.
In accordance with guidance issued by the Archbishops’ Council, the activities of the PCC are declared as:
-
Regular public worship open to everyone.
-
The provision of sacred space for prayer and reflection.
-
Pastoral work, especially visiting the sick and bereaved.
-
Teaching the Christian doctrine by sermon, short courses and study groups.
-
Conducting religious assemblies in local schools.
-
The provision of activities with a Christian ethos for young people.
-
The promotion of Christianity by meetings and the distributing of literature.
-
Furthering the mission of the church through a network offering practical assistance and friendship to the elderly and less mobile people of the parish.
-
Supporting other charities in the United Kingdom and overseas within the rules of the Charity Commission.
-
The consideration and discussions of matters concerning the Church of England or any other matters of religious or public interest.
Objectives and activities of the PCC and the parish
The objective of the Council is the promotion of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England, sharing the good news of Christ with all people of all ages, especially the young who are the future of the Christian church. The focus during the year continued to be on five priority areas for the parish: to grow in our personal faith, to increase our Sunday attendance, to engage with our young people, to help our community in practical ways and to keep our finances on a secure footing. With the pandemic continuing into a second year, it became even more important to focus on workable solutions to these priorities. The following shows what was achieved during 2021 and we plan to renew and expand our activities in 2022.
New Priest in Charge
Having handed in her notice at the end of 2020 for personal reasons, Revd Mandy Elmes left us at the end of February. An online farewell service was held at the time followed by an outdoor tea party at the beginning of September.
Following a successful recruitment process in which we were most sympathetically helped by Bishop Roger and Archdeacon Ruth, Revd Heather Wilcox was appointed in November as Priest in Charge of six parishes: Great Horkesley, Langham with Boxted, Little Horkesley, Mount Bures, West Bergholt, and Wormingford.. We are most grateful to Revd Anne Mason, our Curate, and Jo Rassell, our Parish Administrator, for their care for us during the period of interregnum and their ongoing commitment to these parishes.

Worship and prayer
From January until mid July, Sunday morning services of Holy Communion were held in St Mary’s West Bergholt and shared across the 3 parishes via Zoom. These were led by Revd Mandy until her departure and thereafter by Revd Anne as well as other visiting clergy. All such services were recorded and available afterwards via the church website for others to download. For Easter Day a Sunrise Service at St Peter’s and an Easter Eucharist at St Mary’s were held outdoors. In May services returned to church buildings with appropriate social distancing measures in place and no music indoors, a closing hymn being sung outside. The last Sunday in July saw the resumption of the customary full sung service.
The once monthly DEEP (Discover, Explore, Exchange, Pray) service, led by our families worker Jo Jeffery, resumed in September following the lifting of restrictions. It was decided that in future this would be more appropriately named Teatime Family Worship in order to give a better impression of its purpose. Claire Arculus will be leading this service from January 2022 onwards.
Don and Carola Markham arranged two outdoor events at Boxted Village Hall - a Thanksgiving Service in September and a Nativity Play in December - both of which were well attended as was a Carol Concert held outside the Shepherd and Dog in Langham. The easing of Covid restrictions made it possible to hold the usual Crib and Christingle Services on Christmas Eve.
Music
Our organist Mark Fogg-Elliott has played keyboard or organ for the Easter outside service and the services from May with a hymn sung outside. From the resumption of the usual sung service since July there has been only one Sunday when he was unable to attend and he played for all the Christmas services, three of them on Christmas Eve. The Council owes its thanks to Mark for his commitment to the parish in a difficult year.
The Boxted Methodist Silver Band played at the September Thanksgiving Service and at Boxted's Remembrance Service in November. Their contribution is very much appreciated.
Bells
The cessation of all ringing from March 2020 to the middle of 2021 meant we have lost two recruits who were learning and a senior ringer who has decided to retire permanently. With the band depleted by this and the previous loss of two ringers who moved away, there is at present no regular ringing at St Mary’s. Ringers were gathered from the locality to ring for two weddings in the summer. St Peter’s two bells have been chimed electrically for services and rung by rope for the first wedding allowed to take place.
Bible studies
Revd Anne hosted and led an online Bible Study course using Lyfe resources produced by the Bible Society from January until August. She also ran an Alpha course via Zoom during the end part of 2020 until the end of February. Together with her husband Tim she ran the five session Marriage Preparation course via Zoom in April and May for couples across the three parishes.
Also, in the spring she and Patsy Ann Maggs led an online series of confirmation classes for a young man who was confirmed in mid May and has since gone on to university. Other Bible study groups previously held in people’s homes have not yet resumed.
Deanery of Colchester
The Rector and Synod Representatives ensured parish representation at every meeting during the year. The main focus of discussions has been on the Deanery vision plan, the Church of England's vision to be carbon neutral by 2030 and online Safeguarding training.

Pastoral care and families
2021 was the fourth and final year of Joanne Jeffery ’ s employment as Families Worker for this parish and the parishes of West Bergholt and Great Horkesley. In it she made it her focus to work towards handing over the many activities and projects that she has initiated to be led by others. It is hoped that in the future we may be able to recruit another families worker to consolidate much of the work that she has begun.
The Soul Food WhatsApp group which she had created as a means of supporting families spiritually throughout Covid continued as did the Larder which provided food for those in need. Over the Easter weekend she and Dominic Sheil ran a Muddy Church Easter Trail.
Young people of the parish
Nurture Group
This prayer and Bible study group led by Patsy Ann Maggs and intended for confirmed 12-16 year olds, met fortnightly via Zoom during the Spring Term during which they continued their study of the Acts of the Apostles followed by a variety of online games. Thereafter, as numbers fell due to a surfeit of online learning and the mounting pressure of exams, it was decided that the group had outgrown its usefulness and should be discontinued.
However, in August, several of the members enjoyed an overnight camp out in Dedham vicarage garden together with other young people from that church. This was arranged and led by Claire Arculus.
The Zone and Edge
Having been closed due to restrictions, these groups for 6-11 year olds and 11-18 year olds, led by Dominic and Linda Sheil, reopened outdoors in St. Peter’s churchyard on Good Friday. Since then both groups have met fortnightly on Friday evenings in term time at St. Peter’s Church, the Methodist Hall being no longer available. There has been an average attendance of 9 children at The Zone. The Edge has 8 members and averages 5 young people in attendance. Both groups have been playing non contact games outside in warmer weather to avoid the need to wear masks constantly. The young people are becoming familiar with the church building and its surroundings and have shown considerable interest in understanding its history and significance.
In mid December four young people from the Edge attended a successful Mission and Ministry Unit youth event for 10-14 year olds which was held at Assington Hall by kind permission of the owner. The afternoon included fun and games, worship and prayer and a meal of pizza and brownies. This was led by Revd Hannah Cooper and Joanne Jeffery and it is hoped that it will be the first of many.
Engagement with schools
Joanne Jeffery remained in close contact with our two schools, running Year 6 retreats, recording acts of worship and assisting with the development of plans for Religious Education. The Open the Book team had hoped to return to Boxted School in the Autumn Term but this proved to be impossible due to Covid restrictions. However Patsy Ann Maggs was able to visit weekly during October and November to meet with the children’s Faith Discussion Group. Together they created a film on the subject of the Advent Wreath which was shown to the whole school via Zoom in December. She continued to attend governors’ meetings virtually throughout the year and was able to visit in the autumn to monitor the school’s provision for Religious Education. She and Emma Fowler also visited to help with children’s reading and writing.
Community activities
Open Door Cafe
At Boxted Village Hall on Friday mornings, Open Door Cafe is timed to suit parents dropping off their children at school but is open to everyone. Having been closed for most of the year, the cafe reopened in September with smaller numbers than previously. It is hoped that things will pick up as life returns to

“normal.” The Council is grateful to Don and Carola Markham for running Open Door Cafe so enthusiastically and for their dedication and support in many aspects of church activities.
Good Neighbours
The PCC is the initiator and sponsor of the Good Neighbours scheme offering assistance to the housebound or those without their own transport. Most frequently this is for medical appointments or collection of prescriptions. During 2021 the volunteers carried out 40 jobs, a considerable drop from 69 the year before. Nevertheless, in recognition of its contribution to the community, the scheme received a grant of £500 from Colchester Borough Council Community Enabling Service. In September Arabella Brentnall, the organiser, hosted a drinks party to meet with all concerned, to thank them for their efforts and to welcome any suggestions for improvements. Our thanks go to her, Laurence O’Hagan, treasurer and joint organiser, as well as to the 24 volunteers and 10 telephone operators.
Parish News
The PCC is the publisher of St Mary ’ s and St Peter ’ s free newsletter distributed monthly throughout the parish and which has editorial independence. The Council is grateful to Steve Pollington, editor, and Paul Armstrong, advertising manager, for their hard work in producing such a useful resource. During the vacancy, the PCC and Revd Anne Mason have endeavoured to ensure that the church community continues to write a relevant contribution for inclusion in each month’s edition.
Volunteers and helpers
Thanks are due to all the diligent, enthusiastic volunteers who contribute in many ways to our parish.
Church Cleaning
The PCC continues to be most grateful to those who week by week keep the two churches clean and tidy. Their efforts are a great benefit to all. We owe particular thanks to Anne Hollands who recently retired from the cleaning St. Mary’s, a job which she has faithfully undertaken for many years. At the end of the year a rota of six people was set up to take on this responsibility.
Flower teams
’ ’ St Peter s Church is fortunate in having a loyal group of 18 ladies who enhance the beauty of St Peter s with floral arrangements. Despite another lockdown in 2021, the church remained open every day and the presence of the flowers helped to keep things as near normal as possible. The flowers are arranged every week except during Lent and Advent, regardless of whether there is a service on Sunday. During the Festivals of Easter, Harvest and Christmas a special effort is made to mark these events with arrangements which compliment the relevant season. Particular thanks are extended to Jane Corin and Elaine Mott who always come forward to help on these occasions. At St Mary’s Church, the flower team of six, now led by Helen McBride, made sure there were always fresh flowers arranged in the church throughout the year (except in Lent and Advent), the whole team assembling for the extra decoration appropriate at Easter and Christmas. Although the teams have had the benefit of some younger recruits in recent years, they are always looking for more volunteers regardless of experience. Men are welcome too! The Council is grateful to all for their dedication.
Safeguarding
Following the annual review, the PCC adopted the latest safeguarding policy and is thankful to Laura Benns for continuing as Safeguarding Officer. There have been no safeguarding disclosures during the year. All procedures have been followed, including in terms of recruitment of staff and volunteers. The focus for early in 2022 is to complete the updated safeguarding training for all PCC members.
Risk management
The PCC has a formal policy for safe procedure and risk management for work and equipment in church buildings with provision for periodic checks.

Fabric and churchyards
St Mary’s Church
Maintenance and repairs . Priority items listed in the 2019 Quinquennial Report having had attention in 2020, remaining items are less burdensome, such as maintenance of ironwork.
Goods and ornaments. A pair of chairs in oak, Jacobean style, have been acquired for seating the couple at weddings instead of using steel and plastic stacking chairs. Following the failure of the wireless microphone of the sound system a new radio microphone system with two lavalier (lapel) microphones (rather than one plus hand-held) was purchased and installed to work through the existing amplifier and speakers, the cost being met by a parishioner. It was first in use Christmas morning. Churchyard . The grass was maintained under contract. The remaining Covid restrictions and consideration of extant Covid risks again prevented a churchyard working party. As at the year end no tradesman had yet been found to estimate for repair of damage to the churchyard wall, presumed to be accidental impact by a vehicle. Either they will not accept insurance work or have too much work in hand to schedule more. In response to a resolution of the PCC the Archdeacon’s approval was given for a new ‘garden seat’ inscribed in memory of Walter and Dorothea Tailbury to be funded from a legacy from the late Dorothea Tailbury to the “Vicar and Churchwardens of the Parish Church of Langham”. Terrier and inventory. The Churchwardens maintained the Inventory (Church Property Register).
St. Peter’s Church
Maintenance and repairs . The church, despite its age, has not required any significance maintenance this year, although a minor overhaul of the roof tiles has yet to be completed.
Goods and ornaments. A formal application was made to the Chancellor for the permanent removal of the C19th pews from the north aisle. This involved the notifying of the relevant statutory consultees. No adverse response was received apart from the Victorian Society. They expressed concern at the permanent removal of the pews as they had originally been included in the major reordering by the eminent architect A. N. Bloomfield in 1870. However, after some discussion, they were persuaded that the use by the Junior church and the gaining of space allowing for post service activities, outweighed the retention of permanent seating. The Faculty was duly granted in April 2021, and the additional space has proved extremely useful both to the Junior church and to the Congregation. Churchyard and Graveyard. Only essential maintenance was possible due to Covid, but plans are being made for all aspects of the external areas in the church’s ownership, which have become seriously overgrown in places. Concern over the life of the mature beech tree close to the entrance gate, remains; however, testing by an Arborist revealed that the damage to the tree by fungal attack was not as extensive as first feared. Regular inspection and possibly more testing should be undertaken in the interests of safety.
Financial review and reserves policy: Treasurers' report
2021 has proved to be a challenging year for our finances. Covid has inevitably impacted adversely on our income in various ways. Covid restrictions limited both the number of gathered services and the attendances at gathered services reducing not only income from collections but also income from our envelope scheme. In addition we have not been able to run our usual programme of fundraising events. Despite all of this we have only experienced a small unrestricted income deficit of £131.69 (the combined unrestricted and restricted income reduced by £3612). This is a highly creditable performance in all the circumstances which has been achieved by a combination of avoiding all unnecessary expenditure, reducing our Parish Share to a figure representing fifty per cent of the published tariff for a Priest in Charge and not experiencing any unplanned/emergency expenses in maintaining the fabric of our two listed church buildings. We have been both sensible and lucky!
As to our income this was £57,342, of which Planned Giving was £29,800 (down about £3,500), Collections and Other Giving £8,800 (up by about £1,100) and related Gift Aid £6,400 (down by about £800). There is some distortion in the figures for Current Assets and Liabilities in the Balance Sheet resulting from the receipt of a significant legacy (the use of which is subject to trust restrictions and cannot be treated as part of the PCC’s general funds) the amount of which is shown in accordance with accounting convention as both an asset and a liability.
7
The further deficit has reduced our combined unrestricted and restricted reserves to £30,624.84. Some 10 years or so ago these stood at over £60,000, but in the 1990’s were lower than they are now. Much more significant is the reduction in our unrestricted reserves/general funds to £11,314. These reserves could be wiped out within twelve months if we either relax our ultra prudent approach as to expenditure, if we have a significant drop in funding or we are unlucky in experiencing unexpected expenditure. It is salutary to keep in mind that, if we had not reduced our portion of the Parish Share two years ago to fifty per cent of the published tariff for a Priest in Charge, our unrestricted reserves would now be less than £3000. We are heading for dangerous financial territory.
Considerable thought has been given to our medium and longer term financing. More than half our income derives from the generosity of standing orders from individuals in our two villages not all of whom are church members. A significant proportion of this income is from individuals who are in their seventies or older. In order to guard against a future significant funding gap we need urgently to broaden this support group with more and hopefully younger individuals who will support the institution of an active church in our villages going forward.
Now that we are part of our new Rector’s six parishes we need to come up with a formula for sharing our joint Parish Share on a basis that is fair to all. Under the chairmanship of the Rector the Treasurers of each of the six parishes are meeting to address this issue and we are confident that a solution will be agreed which is not just fair to us but to all the parishes. The formula could be based upon a number of weighted factors possibly including membership, service attendances, unrestricted income and parish populations.
For the last few years Anthony Corin and Stephen Whybrow have shared the role of Treasurer. At Anthony’s request he will be standing down as and when the 2021 Accounts are approved and we are delighted that Mark Fogg Elliot has agreed to take his place. Anthony ( and Jane) have been stalwart supporters of our church for more than 40 years and have always involved themselves in all aspects of church life, including accounting, fundraising, flag rotas and church flowers to name but a few. Anthony played a leading role in our 2000 year fundraising for St Peter's Boxted and in implementing the subsequent re ordering. There will be an opportunity to mark Anthony’s contribution later in the year.
Structure, governance and management
The method of appointment of PCC members was conducted in accordance with Rule 14 of the Church Representation Rules 2017 (Rule M15 of the Church Representation Rules 2020). Langham with Boxted PCC is a registered charity. PCC members are the charity trustees and accept responsibility as such, being accountable to the Charity Commission. Thus PCC members must comply with both charity law and with church (ecclesiastical) law, being clear about the PCC's purposes, procedures and governance.
Members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and to stand for election to the PCC. During 2021 there were two additions to the Electoral Roll and one removal. This brings the current listing to 74 of which 62 are parish residents and 12 are non-resident.
The full PCC met seven times during the year. The Meeting of Parishioners and the Annual Parochial Church Meeting were held at St Peter's Church in May with 25 people attending.
Members of the PCC and its Officers and committees for 2021-22 are listed on the next page.
