## **AIMS AND PURPOSES** 

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the Priest in Charge (Revd Mark Fraser) in promoting, in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The church also has the benefit of the assistance of Revd Jonathon Mole and retired priest, Revd Kath Batte. 

The PCC is specifically responsible for the maintenance of the building of the Church of the Holy Rood, Village Street, Edwalton and the Church Hall, Village Green, Edwalton. 

In the absence of Churchwardens the PCC are happy to report that the Church inventory and terrier are all in order. 

## **Objectives** 

The mission of the Church of the Holy Rood is “A worshipping church, welcoming everyone into the Lord’s family, proclaiming the gospel and serving the community.” 

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of the parish community 

## **OVERVIEW** 

2020 was the most extraordinary of years as the world was caught up in the Covid19 pandemic that affected all of our lives in ways that we could never have imagined.   This has had a huge impact on our lives as nations, communities, individuals and also on life and activities of the church. 

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) met three times prior to lockdown. This included an additional meeting in February to follow-up on the PCC Away Day in the previous November.  This meeting let to producing a vision document for the church that had been due to be explored with the wider church family later in the year.  Following the national lockdown and 

3 



ongoing coronavirus restrictions the remaining 4 PCC meetings were conducted online using Zoom. 

## **So what have we done** ? 

- 1 Appointed a cleaner for the church and a caretaker for the Church Hall. The new caretaker is shared between St Luke’s and Holy Rood. 

- 2 In January and February a Pilgrim course was held on Thursday afternoons in the Meeting Room.  It was led by Ade Perham and attended by people from Holy Rood and St Luke’s. 

- 3 During the first lockdown every member of the church was invited to join a pastoral circle for mutual support, practical assistance and to counter isolation. 

- 4 Printed worship materials for Easter 2020 were mailed or posted to everyone on the church database. 

- 5 Initially online worship was produced jointly for people from St Luke’s and Edwalton.  From Pentecost onwards online services produced in and for Edwalton were provided every other week. 

- 6 In accordance with government and church guidelines the church building was opened for private personal prayer on Mondays and Fridays throughout lockdown. 

- 

- 7 Quiet Place the monthly time of reflection in the church and – 

- garden moved online and continued to be facilitated by Roger Johnson. 

- 8 Plans were made for church services to re-open in September which involved planning how to allow for social distancing, hand sanitisation, appropriate ventilation and other protocols to comply with government and Church of England guidelines.  Appropriate risk assessments were produced. 

- 9 The Church Annual Parochial Church Meeting took place in the Church building on Sunday 11[th] October (having been delayed from April).  Trevor Greaves and Di Illsley stepped down as Churchwardens after many years of committed service. 

- 10 In Late November Gifts and Toys were collected at the Church and then donated to the Great Notts Christmas Toy Appeal. 

4 



- 11 Unfortunately, the Christmas Tree Festival could not take place this year however fundraising activities, helped substantially by Helen and Amelia Stephenson, led to 

   - Over £800 being raised and donated to the Child Bereavement Centre. 

- 12 Cards advertising the Christmas Services were distributed around the parish.  The Carols by Candlelight service was held twice to enable more people to attend. The Christmas Eve Crib service was held outdoors in the afternoon and attended by over 50 people of all ages who sang and joined in the service with gusto! 

## Church and Hall Caretaker 

The Church Hall remained closed throughout the majority of 2020 due to government restrictions on indoor activities.  We are grateful to those who have helped to maintain the building and grounds and look after them during this season.  We finished the year anticipating the arrival of a new caretaker and the future prospect of welcoming the community back to the activities that they enjoy. 

## Church Garden 

The Church Garden has always been a wonderful place and much loved by those who discover it and come to enjoy its tranquility and beauty. However, throughout 2020 it has had a significant increase in visitors as people have given more time to walking and exercising in their local area.  The PCC would like to thank those who give so much time keeping it in such wonderful condition. 

## Worship 

Throughout 2020 a range of people have taken part in leading and preaching at our weekly services including Revd Mark Fraser, Revd Jonathan Mole, Rev Emily Charkham, Ordinands Kristine Mole and Ade Perham, and Jackie Tivers (our Licensed Lay Minister).  Much of this worship was produced online although we were delighted to return to the church building in September.  A number of people have appreciated the online worship when they would not have been able to attend in person. Others have accessed worship produced by the BBC or streamed from 

5 



Southwell Minster.  Once worship services returned to the church building we have regularly welcomed around 25-30 adults each week. 

During the year we said goodbye to a number of members and friends of Edwalton Church.  In total we conducted 10 funerals, 6 of which were held in the church with reduced numbers of people in attendance. 

## People 

## We welcomed Revd Emily Charkham as curate at St Luke’s. 

Holy Rood is the building; the Church is the people and each of us, with our different skills and talents, is part of it.  2020 has been a very difficult year for all of us and we are hoping that during 2021 we will return to something approaching normality.  Together we have learnt new skills, experienced new ways of worshipping, learnt to rely on each other and got to know our neighbours better.  With the prospect of vaccination and a loosening of restrictions we look forward to meeting in person and reconnecting during 2021.  In all of this the PCC is most grateful for the help and support it continues to receive.

## **FABRIC GROUP** 

## **Fabric Group** 

Although there is no Fabric Group as such, any matters arising are discussed with a small number of volunteer advisers; a formal proposal is placed before the PCC for an appropriate decision related to the solution and financing of the project.  Day to day routine maintenance is achieved without recourse to the PCC within strict financial limits. 

## **The work throughout 2020 involved.** 

Obviously, going into the first lockdown in March 2020 all work was curtailed until we were able to resume limited activity.  The first function was the completion of the mandatory quinquennial survey of the Church by our Architect, Mark Goodwill-Hodgson in June.  Nothing out the ordinary was noted and generally the Church remains in good condition. 

We will be carrying out some of the listed requirements later this year (such as high-level gutter cleaning and lightning conductor test and inspection) and will continue to monitor the building as required. 

In March our gas boiler under went it’s annual service and again nothing untoward was reported, but … the British Gas engineer commented on the age such that following any breakdown it may be more cost effective to replace to gain efficiency savings.  This is a future task as and when it occurs though. 

In the summer we experienced a light failure in the Bell Tower (required to support the funeral services that were able to proceed at this time). The fault was traced to squirrel invasion at the top of the Bell Tower, our electrical contractor repaired the chewed wiring whilst Martin Marriot and Steve Lockwood worked to seal the entry holes.  To date no further illegal entry has occurred. 

Once we were able to start a limited amount of work, some Churchyard grass cutting teams met to maintain the churchyard grass, saving the cost of paying the Community Payback Team contractors who were not meeting at this time.  Additional voluntary tasks included the clearing of the roof and gutters of pine needles dropped by our delightful cedar trees.

Following return to services in the Autumn held under Covid-19 restrictions, including over the Christmas period and a garden service allowing communal singing the Church went into lockdown again, but this time we continued to work in and around the Church to allow our online broadcast of services to take place safely. 

Because we did not place Paul our new Church Hall caretaker, on furlough, we retained his services to help in maintaining the Church to a standard ready for re-opening again.  Work included repairing the fence on Village Street, clearing the Churchyard of old wreaths and memorials, washing the benches, and cleaning the old memorials.  Some painting, gutter clearing and general work as required. 

We continue to utilise his services as required. 

## **Ongoing and Future Work Requirements** 

The Churchyard will continue to be maintained by a volunteer team.  This will save around £2,000 this year. 


A regular problem, visible to everyone who uses the Church is the bird droppings on the path, and the slippery condition of the path when wet.  The droppings are cleaned away on a regular basis, easier to do when it is raining of course, and we would appreciate any volunteer help with this task!  The overall condition of the path is being monitored, (cracking, lifting and grouting) especially 

following repairs to the entry doors as a result of catching on the paving stones. 

All the external doors have deteriorated badly and will be refurbished throughout 2021, including addressing the ‘jamming’ situation by repairin g the paving stones or maybe trimming the bottom of the doors. 

## **Church Hall** 

We continue to manage the Church Hall in order to generate valuable income for the Church.  The new cleaner/caretaker Paul Taylor started but soon we went into lockdown and it was not possible to place Paul on furlough, he worked to carry out internal and external maintenance tasks 

8 



with volunteer help from the Church membership.  The red woodwork has now gone! and the building is an elegant grey offering a professional and elegant environment for our users as they return.  He also used his working hours in working at the Church.  The PCC will continue to look at a possibility of modifying his contract to include some of his contracted hours to the Church.  A lot of you have already met Paul and enjoyed his company.  Hopefully, with everything opening up he can continue to enjoy working around the Church Hall and the Church.  Discussions regarding a replacement building continue.

## **Deanery Synod** 

**West Bingham Deanery** is one of nine deaneries in the Diocese of Southwell & Nottingham.  Its area extends over part of Rushcliffe (West Bridgford and villages to the south and west) plus Clifton and Wilford.  Its meetings or “synods” br ing together clergy and lay representatives two or three times a year, with a mix of synod business and reports plus discussion on topical issues.  Meetings are often open to members of all the parishes. 

Mark Fraser is currently Area Dean; Katharine Dryden is the Deanery Administrator.  Our lay representatives from 2017 to 2020 were David Batte and Trevor Greaves.  We did not have anyone stand for election at our 2020 meetings and so we continue to hold vacancies.  This is unfortunate as it it is important to have representation on the Synod as we discuss matters and make decisions that affect each of our parishes. 

Deanery Synod met twice in 2020, in person in March and by video link in November: 

The **March Meeting** was an Open Synod at St Luke’s. It was jointly chaired by Dean Mark and Lay Chair Jane Gray.  Mark welcomed and introduced to the Deanery Lydia Cartwright, the incoming Vicar at Clifton Team Ministry.  Mark emphasised the significance of taking seriously the Past Case Review of safeguarding issues, and identified the new Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) Julian Hodgson, who would be key in progressing this agenda, but who was unable to attend this meeting. 

Following the success of the OneLife Northern Bishops’ Mission across the Deanery in September 2019, Mark set out an early plan for a homegrown mission initiative for the autumn of 2021.  He presented some encouraging ideas for training and preparation to make good use of the intervening time. 

Under the heading of ‘Inspiring Generosity’, Mark introduced the topic of church finances and in particular churches ‘Parish Share’ contribution the Diocese which funds parish clergy as well as central costs.  The meeting acknowledged the difficult financial position shared by all parishes.  Mark said that “ the bigger challenge is not meeting the parish share but living 

10 



Christlike lives”, and provided a number of references and resources to help parishes progress their thinking and actions on the issue. 

The **November Meeting** was also an Open Synod and was by video link with 31 attendees **.** Mark introduced new clergy Esther Hutchinson, Curate and Gill Hall, Associate Minister, both at Clifton, and Emily Charkham, Curate at St Luke’s, though none of these was able to attend. Longstanding vac ancies remained at St Wilfrid’s Wilford (though there had been an interview not leading to appointment) and All Hallows’ Lady Bay. 

The meeting was encouraged to reflect on the unfolding mission of God’s church through personal testimonies from Christians involved in serving the community of some of the challenges, opportunities and blessings arising from the Covid crisis and consequent restrictions. 

Under the heading ‘financial realities’ Mark presented that the Parish Share nominal increase of 3.5% in 2021 was more daunting because all the pressures in 2020 meant we were well short of achieving the 2020 baseline. Parishes were asked to bid towards achieving the target and any remaining shortfall would need to be shared out. 

Copies of Deanery Minutes are available from the Deanery Administrator.

## **Financial Review** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2020 General Income and Expenditure Account** 

The unrestricted General Account for the year ended 31st December 2020 shows a loss before transfers from other reserves of £24,243. 

Uncovenanted giving income and income from the hire of the Church Hall/Meeting Room was adversely affected by the global Coronavirus pandemic which led to several lockdowns in the period. One legacy of £1,000 was received in the period. Our overall annual income in 2020 was around 10% lower than in 2019. 

Expenditure has been closely scrutinised by the PCC Finance Committee throughout the year. Our Parish Share however increased by 26% compared to 2019. Salary costs also increased during the period as the Church utilised a member of St Lukes’s staff as a Church Hall caretaker. Where possible, employees were put on furlough and a grant was received from the Government. 

In line with Church of England recommended practice, it is our policy to maintain as a reserve an amount equivalent to approximately three months unrestricted expenditure (eg around £25,000) for contingency purposes. At the beginning of 2020, the PCC agreed to transfer £20,000 from our Designated Fund Accounts in order to maintain adequate cash reserves. 

## **Designated Fund Accounts and Investments** 

We have three Designated Fund Accounts: 

- The Hall Renewal Fund: designated for the renewal/rebuilding of the Church Hall 

- The Parish Investment Fund: designated for supporting an employee who will develop/promote the ministry and ministry and mission of the church in the Parish of Edwalton 

- The Church Fabric and Churchyard Maintenance Fund: designated for 

12 



supporting work on the church and surrounding site that cannot be fully funded from within the General Account. 

During 2020 the investments within the Designated Fund Accounts continued to perform satisfactorily. The capital value of our investments increased by £24,000 (2.6%) during the year, and interest/dividend receipts amounted to £31,000. At 31st December the value of our three Designated Fund Accounts was 

Hall Renewal Fund - £752,531 

Parish Investment Fund - £503,937 

Church Fabric and Churchyard Maintenance Fund - £7,656 

We received the original legacy from the estate of John Hill in 2015. Since then, the combined net value of our Parish Investment and Hall Renewal Funds has increased by £248,000 

## **Legacy Policy** 

In 2016 the PCC established a policy whereby, wherever possible, legacy gifts are used to help fund development projects, whether buildings, equipment or staff. We encourage people to leave gifts in their wills for the general purposes of the church rather than for a restricted purpose. We discuss the possible uses of such gifts with the executors, bearing in mind the areas of interest of the deceased and the priorities of the church at the time. The PCC makes a decision and the executors are informed regarding the use to which the money is being put. 

## **Charitable Donations** 

During 2020 the Parish raised £536 for the Children’s Bereavement Centre by running various events in lieu of the Christmas Tree Festival. **Helen Stephenson (Member of the Finance Committee)**

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. 

At the Church of the Holy Rood the membership of the PCC consists of the Priest in Charge, Churchwardens, Deanery Synod representatives and Laity Members elected by those members of the congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. 

The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the church parish including deciding on how the funds of the PCC are to be spent. 

## **Church Gardening Club** 

To comply with Covid restrictions, our regular Saturday Gardening Club meetings had to be suspended. However, in order to maintain the garden, some of our members were able to work on their own during the week. This time has also been used to start constructing much needed compost bays. Restrictions also meant that we were not able to hold any of our regular fundraising events. We were most grateful, therefore, to receive donations from people who visited the garden and who wished to express their appreciation for the work that our team of enthusiastic gardeners continued to do.  It has been most encouraging to see so many people visit the garden and to be told how they enjoyed and very much appreciated the quiet and peaceful atmosphere where they could sit and meditate and perhaps treat their visit as a welcomed respite from lockdown.   The garden has also been a useful ‘nature resource’ for parents who have been home schooling their children. Children have gone away with handfuls of autumn coloured leaves in order to create artistic collages. 

Due to Covid restrictions, we were not able to hold our annual Easter Saturday Service in the garden. However, we were pleased to welcome to the garden over 70 people (socially distanced) to the Christmas Eve Crib 

14 



Service. Adults and children gathered round the gazebo and pallet – – constructed stable complete with costumed characters and sang carols. 

Hopefully, with the easing of lockdown, we might be able to resume our – normal weekly Saturday sessions and maybe to h old our ‘Strawberry Cream Tea’ event in July.   Enthusiastic volunteers, whether they have gardening experience or not, will always be most welcome.  Gardening can be very therapeutic and rewarding.

## **Church Website** 

## **Church Website** 

We only have **two** maintained websites that contain current information. These are; 

## **1. www.edwaltonchurch.plus.com** 

This is our current website that is maintained on a regular basis to be up to date and relevant.  We have had to include Safeguarding information as a priority this year.  This website is maintained for general information about our Church, to obtain service information or news of our Church you go to the second website; 

## **2. www.achurchnearyou.com** 

We use the Church Near You website, provided by the Church of England.  Updating is easier for me and can be done very quickly (unlike the other website). 

The Church continues to receive contact messages through both websites. 

If you would like your event or function placed on the website **please, please** provide me with the information.  My preference would be to receive a computer file (any type) directly by email to either me, (mel.dougan@btinternet.com), or the Church email address. 

I am always very pleased to receive suggestions or comments to improve _our_ website. 

15 



## **FACEBOOK.** 


We now have an official Facebook Page that is used to publicise events for the Church. Please log on in Facebook and Search for Holy Rood Edwalton, like and follow in order to receive this information. 

## _**Melvyn Dougan**_ 

## **Junior Church** 

Prior to the lockdown in March, Junior Church met at the 10.15am service on the 2[nd] and 4[th] Sunday. There was a small number of children who were taught by Julie Beesley and Alex Whitaker. Crafts, stories, games and other interactive activities to help the children grow in faith. 

Unfortunately, we haven’t met since last March and one of our families have moved away. We look forward to welcoming new children in the near future. 

## **Organ** 

"It has been a quiet year for the organists in view of the Covid restrictions. However, we are, as ever, grateful to them (Douglas, Ian, Janet and Susan) and look forward to a more musical year in 2021-22."

## **Edwalton Baby & Toddler Group** 

The Group was not able to meet throughout 2020 due to the Country being in Lockdown.  A Christmas card was sent to the families who had been attending prior to lockdown. 

In order that we can restart this group safely we need to look for new leaders and volunteers. 

We will also need to wait for all social distancing requirements to be lifted in order that the furniture currently in the meeting room can be returned to the church. 

If you feel able to help lead this group please contact me and I can advise you on the running of the group. 

## **Sue Dougan** 

## **Ladies Fellowship** 

In common with other organisations we have been unable to meet during the pandemic.  However, as soon as restrictions are totally lifted and it is considered safe to do so, we hope to reconvene as soon as possible. We have all missed the friendship and fellowship the group offers. 

## **Freda Crampton** 

## **Mothers’ Union** 

There is not a lot to report for 2020 due to Covid. 

Apart from our A.G.M in February there have been no meetings. 

It is with great sadness that we have decided to close the branch mainly due to declining numbers and increase in the annual subscriptions. 

17 



The branch has been in existence since 1932 so it was a hard choice to make. We hope to have a service of closure when all the restrictions are lifted. 

We received a letter from Jennifer Jackson, who is the branch leader of our link branch of St Lawrence, Mansfield with whom we have had a lond and happy association over many years. 

_**Jennifer wrote:**_ 

_**St Lawrence’s M.U has been blessed to have such a lovely link branch. We have always been warmly welcomed and made to feel special. The friendship which has grown between the two groups seems unusual compared with many links.**_ 

_**We always felt the warmth of your welcome and enjoyed the wonderful teas your members prepared. You treated us to such a variety of entertainments and talks and we will miss our visits.**_ 

## _**Please pass on our thanks to your members and give them our love.**_ 

On behalf of all our members I would like to thank you for all your encouragement and support over the past years. 

## **Margaret Arrowsmith** 

## **Branch Leader** 

## **42nd Nottingham (Edwalton) Boys’ Brigade** 

Well, I’m sure it won’t surprise many when I say that the last twelve months have been difficult and challenging for our Company. The Lockdowns, and the subsequent cancellation of face-to-face meetings, have been something none of our members have ever experienced before, like the majority of BB members across the country I dare to say. 

Whilst our Zoom meetings on Wednesday nights kept us in touch with one another, they were never going to live up to fun and enjoyment we all get from ordinary nights at the Church Hall. I am extremely grateful to all our children and their families for keeping their interest in the Company 

18 



despite the restrictions, and also to all the Officers for all they’ve done to help with it. 

We returned to face to face again on 21[st] April, and the joy that our young people showed at being able to return was great to see. 

The restrictions also meant that we couldn’t celebrate our 60[th] Anniversary in March the way we would have liked. Depending on restrictions being eased at the time the Government has promised, we hope to hold this in late June, along with our Annual Display and Awards Night. We continue to pray hope that things continue on the right track. 

I must also mention our sadness at the passing of The Duke of Edinburgh, mainly because of what The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award has played in our Company’s history, with more than 40 young people benefitting from the scheme, and one of our Seniors is working towards his Silver Award. Nearly 70 awards have been presented over all 3 levels. I can say with confidence that despite the Duke’s passing, the award will continue to help develop members of the 42[nd] Nottingham for many more years to come. 

Finally, I’d like to thank all the Officers for their contributions to the Company over the year. Your work is greatly appreciated as ever.
