The PCC Annual Report of St Peter & St Paul, Edenbridge May 2023 – April 2024
The PCC is a charity - Registered Charity No. 1133858. Registered with the Charity Commission since 28 January 2010
Introduction
The Parish Church of St Peter & St Paul at Edenbridge in Kent dates back to the 12th century.
It is a Grade I listed building, a middle-of-the road Anglican community with a strong choral tradition in the Diocese of Rochester with strong links with all the other local churches through the Edenbridge Churches in Covenant (ECC) – involving Anglican, Roman Catholic, United Reform, Baptist and Grace Community churches in the town and surrounding villages.
History
The Church building is on a site that has been used for worship from Saxon times and there is evidence that the origins of the structure are Norman (Textus Rofensis 1120) with wall paintings from 1385 by the door. There is a bit of Norman era at the west end on the north side. It was rebuilt and extended in the early English period – denoted in the clock with only an hour hand, the font, the Jacobean pulpit, the alabaster memorial to Nicholas Seliyard and the white marble Richard Jemmet family tombstone. The Nave’s stained-glass window by Howard Kempe is of a superior quality and slightly earlier, depicting Christ on a green cross representing ‘renewal.’ The East window in the Martyn Chapel was installed in 1908, using stained glass that is attributed to the studio of the Arts and Crafts PreRaphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones.
Administrative information
St Peter and St Paul's Church building & churchyard is in Church Street, Edenbridge TN8 5BD within stone walls. Correspondence should be addressed to the Parish Administrator at the Parish Office in the Vicarage on Mill Hill, Edenbridge, Kent TN8 5DA. Andrea Shipwright continues to provide an invaluable service to the Churchwardens creating the weekly pew sheet and distributing it by email, liaising with funeral directors and Diocesan departments, answering queries and many other tasks required to ensure the Parish functions efficiently and smoothly.

Structure, governance and management
Members of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) are either elected at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) or co-opted by the PCC in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. PCC members, as trustees, are responsible for deciding on all matters of general concern and importance to the Parish including how PCC funds are spent. The Treasurer and Churchwardens would like to acknowledge the invaluable help that Jane Cain provides as Assistant Treasurer in dealing with all aspects of finance - book-keeping, stewardship and gift aid - paying in money received, and so many other ‘behind the scenes’ activities.
To meet its wide responsibilities the PCC has a number of sub-committees, each of which deals with a particular aspect of Parish life and normally meet between full meetings of the PCC according to their needs. The sub-committees report to every PCC meeting either by written or verbal means.
St. Peter & St Paul’s PCC has the responsibility of promoting the Parish, the whole mission of the Church: pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC also has maintenance responsibilities, in conjunction with the Diocese, for the Vicarage now that the Incumbent has left. St Paulinus Church Hall in Hillcrest Road, Marlpit Hill, Edenbridge is administered and maintained by it’s own committee – chaired by John Nutting, with Richard Dyson reporting to the PCC.
Objectives and Activities
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at the church and to actively become part of our Parish community. Services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our Parish community through worship and prayer, nurturing, outreach work and pastoral care for individuals living in the parish. Detailed objectives of the PCC continue to build on initiatives started in previous years, under the framework of our Mission Statement. These are: -
-
Communicate the Church’s message to the local community effectively
-
Provide greater accessibility to group activities within the Church
-
Increase our congregation with great emphasis placed upon gaining new members as well as retaining existing participants
-
Raise the profile of Stewardship, helping regular church goers as well as the wider public better understand our situation to address the shortfall in regular income
-
To adopt Diocesan and Church of England Policies
-
Increase fundraising efforts to ensure funds are available for special projects

To facilitate this work, it is important the PCC maintains the fabric of the Church building of St Peter & St Paul, so that the building can be a central focus and meeting place for Parish activities whether religious or secular. We work hard to maintain viability and use the time and talents of volunteers as well as we can and value the commitment from all volunteers in the Parish.
The PCC appointed Fiona Glidewell as the Parish Safeguarding Officer for another year and her annual report is included in the Sundry reports for the Annual Parish General Meeting. The public notices ‘Promoting a Safer Church’ around the building display Fiona’s contact details and those of Sue Oldfield and Hilary Morgan as the other nominated points of contact. The PCC have complied with the duty to have regard to the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 ensuring all those from the congregation working with or near to these groups have undertaken the relevant training. A number of on-line trainings at many levels – basic awareness, foundation and leadership, safer recruitment and people management, along with raising awareness of domestic abuse have been undertaken by volunteers within the church community and DBS checks have been carried out where required.
Achievements and performance
Worship and Prayer : We have endeavoured to continue the traditions instigated by Fr. Stephen.
Since his retirement in October 2023, the main service of the week remains as the Sunday 9.30am Eucharist. Opportunities for worship are also offered at an 8am communion service on Sundays and at Evensong and Wednesday morning, Eucharist worship at 10.30am. A small number of services have had to be substituted by a ‘Service of the Word’ when no alternative Officiant could be provided. At this point, we must thank Reverend David Flagg, who, although retired for a number of years, has stepped up to run all Wednesday services and many of the Sunday ones too. Reverend Kevin Scully of Cowden has been certificated by The Diocese as a ‘Permission to Officiate’ retired priest, so has taken many Sunday morning services also, along with leading a recent ‘Quiet Day’. The church is open from 9am to 3pm daily for private prayer and spiritual contemplation.
We have been able to hold a 11am ‘All Age’ services on the first Sunday in the month which draws in a number of young families and their children for prayer, singing and crafts, and recently have participated in joint family services – Harvest, Epiphany and Mothering Sunday.
The Junior Choir continues to go from strength to strength under the guidance of Fiona who is taking them through training to achieving the light blue, dark blue, red and yellow ribbon awards in choral singing.
The Christingle service, held in the afternoon of Christmas Eve was again very popular. This was a ticket only event and was ‘sold out’ with 250 attendees. Community special events included two Primary School’s Christmas carol services and Town Band Concert. Remembrance Sunday started with a wreath laying at the hospital’s War Memorial service at 11am followed by a Service of Remembrance in church in the afternoon.
In the last year, there have been three weddings, 10 baptisms and 19 funerals held in this church – guided by Verger George Lincoln and Paul Baker until his move. For the year ending 2023 there were 162 parishioners in the Church Electoral Roll. Since the last APCM, we have been saddened by the deaths of Arthur New, John Pack, Mary Tester, Terry Carter, John Henriet and Michael Purll.
May they Rest in Peace.

Patricia Shaw, Margaret and David Illingworth, Paul Baker, Bertie and Jean Talbot have all moved away. The annual Statement of Mission survey for the Diocese was completed in January 2024 accurately reflecting the attendance in person and over social media, the services undertaken and outreach.
Pastoral Care and Outreach : The Church has three Lay Readers – Barbara Mitchell, Hilary Morgan and Anthea Staples, two Pastoral Assistants – Sue Oldfield and George Lincoln, and an ‘Anna Chaplain - Val Bantin - who form the Ministry Team. Some members of our Parish who are unable to attend church due to sickness or infirmity have been given communion by Fr. Stephen or Anthea Staples at home, or in Stanholm or recently at Edenbridge Manor. We continue to support the Food Bank through edible gifts from the congregation using a donation box in the Baptistry which is collected weekly and taken to Rickards Hall for distribution. The generous donations at the Harvest Festival 2023 service were much appreciated by the Food Bank which operates out of Rickards Hall on Tuesday mornings under the guidance of Dave White of the Grace Church.
The weekly pew-sheets are compiled by Andrea in the Parish Office and emailed out to all on the GDPR e-mail lists she holds. Val Bantin provides copies of the pew sheet and Worship at Home leaflets to those not able to receive emails. The monthly Parish Newsletter has now ceased, ending with a commemorative issue depicting Fr. Stephen’s retirement last October. The church web site is maintained by Richard Cain. Social fund-raising events have been popular – the numerous coffee mornings, Michaelmas Fayre, Winter Fair and Plant market in May. Advent booklets with cards sent out at Christmas by the Churchwardens to all those on the Electoral Roll.
Ecumenical Relationships : St Peter & St Paul’s Church is a member of the Edenbridge Churches in Covenant (ECC). Members are from Holy Trinity Church in Crockham Hill, The United Reformed Church at Marsh Green, St. Lawrence’s Roman Catholic Church, The Grace Community, Eden Baptist Church, and the Three Spires Benefice of Four Elms, Hever and Mark Beech villages. All three Lay Readers are periodically invited to lead and preach at Marsh Green and Crockham Hill Churches.
Mission : Our CMS missionary Ruth Radley has retired, although our financial contribution has continued to provide support where it is most needed. The congregation heard from Andrew & Sarah Greenaway (who were recently commissioned by WEC to serve in Thailand) at the 9.30am service last month. Andrew – a former chorister in our church – hopes to be able to send us regular updates when settled in their new home and vocation. We continue to support the Malawi Childrens’ hospital with funding by the Wednesday morning congregation. We respond to annual appeals from Christian Aid and Poverty & Hope, and we try to uphold our commitment as a Fairtrade Church by using Fairtrade refreshments and cleaning materials.
BRIDGES: We have three Trustees on the board of ‘BRIDGES’ (charity No 1029169) – The Chairman is Richard Dyson, with Sue Oldfield and Barbara Abel. It is a local ecumenical Pop-in Centre & Community Cafe in Edenbridge High Street, still operating with reduced hours since COVID because of the low number of volunteers. It is hoped that with the appointment of a Deputy Manager this will help deal with Saturday opening as well as other work.
Community : We continue to contribute financially to the employment of the ecumenical Youth Worker – Anthony Shipwright through the Eden Christian Trust - registered Charity No.1001961, chaired by Tim Hill. ECT’s work with the young members of the congregation greatly enhances the engagement of young people in the Church communities and in the development of their faith. This was further acknowledged by Sevenoaks District Council at their Presentation Evening in 2023.

Maintenance: The annual tasks of servicing the boilers, CCTV, glass doors, lightning conductor, fire extinguishers and Portable Appliance testing were all carried out last year.
St. Paulinus Hall: The St Paulinus Church Centre at Marlpit Hill, which is let to several community groups and a local pre-school, is managed by it’s own Committee, reporting to the PCC. Its income is used for maintenance and electrical work, and with the help of Grants, had a new floor installed after treated and new joists were fitted. The hall is now extremely smart!
Volunteers : The Church Wardens especially are extremely grateful to all the members of the church community who work hard to ensure that our ministry and stewardship is maintained. These include – the Choir, Intercession leaders and Lesson readers, The Flower Guild, Sidesmen, Sacristans, Servers, bell Ringers, coffee team, cleaning and caretaking teams, and many others who help at various events! The Churchwardens, Julie Johnson and Fiona Glidewell enable the Church to be open by running a duty rota of unlocking and locking the building daily between 9 and 3pm.
Finance Review:
Going Concern Status: We have sufficient non-restricted funds to ensure that there is no risk in the next Financial Year in terms of our liabilities and therefore we will remain a going concern. Our Financial Statements have therefore been prepared on this basis. The Trustees will continue to monitor this status annually.
Non-restricted Funds: The Non-restricted Funds surplus decreased by £24,647 in 2023 Unrestricted by £6,606 (due to significant increase in Energy costs) and Designated by £18,041 (due to Capital project to replace the floor in St Paulinus Hall).
Unrestricted Fund : The Unrestricted Fund was £24,777 on 31[st] December 2023 with deficit of £6,606 (Budgeted deficit of £9,512). A budget deficit of £12,375 is forecast for 2024. To maintain this the PCC agreed to pledge £63,000 as our Parish Offer which is again significantly less than the Diocesan ‘calculated offer request’ of £69,973. The PCC understands the seriousness of this situation and will continue to review during 2024.
Income: The Unrestricted Fund income shows an increase of £1,986 to £103,642 in 2023. Expenditure: The General Fund expenditure shows an increase of £8,046 to £113,532 in 2023. Investments : The total Investment valuation (All Funds) increased by £7,737 to £222,891 (3.6%). Risk Management: The PCC manages risk by adherence to a clear set of financial controls which are reviewed annually to respond to any changed circumstances. There were no incidents during 2023 which put the PCC at financial risk.
Reserves Policy: It is PCC policy to maintain a balance in the Unrestricted Fund that equates to at least three months Unrestricted Fund payments. In 2023 this was equivalent to £28,383. Reserves are held to cover emergency situations and to aid cash flow. At the end of 2023 this target was not met, and the reserve stood at £24,777. The PCC approved a proposal to make funds available as reserves as appropriate. The revised Unrestricted fund reserve stands at £38,081. Reserves are also held on Designated Funds as follows:
-
St Paulinus Fund £4,364
-
Capital Projects £173,219
