Structure, Governance and Management. The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules. All church attendees are encouraged to register on the Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
Objectives and Activities. The PCC of Guiseley with Esholt has the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent – the Revd. David Pickett – in promoting, within the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the church: pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. It also has maintenance responsibilities for two churches and the Parish Centre.
Achievement and Performance. Church Attendance shows that there were 129 parishioners on the Electoral roll, of whom 21 are not resident within the parish. The average weekly attendance for both churches has seen an increase since Covid-19 restrictions were lifted. The figure on the electoral roll does not include the children who, with families, worship each week at St Oswald’s, and monthly at St Paul’s. The number of people attending at major feasts and festivals during this period was pleading, with many new faces attending at certain points throughout the year. People coming forward for baptism continues to please, whilst weddings within our churches, although hit by the pandemic, have started to increase, be it marginally. Parishioners are encouraged to join the Electoral Roll.
Review of the Year. The PCC met 8 times during the year with an average attendance of 95%. The content of discussions is recorded in the reports of the Hon. Secretary. Any Sub Committee meetings that have taken place will have had their deliberations recorded and discussed by the full PCC where necessary.
Thank you: A big vote of thanks is due to all those who have contributed to the life and work of our churches. Among those – and in no particular order – we give thanks to:
1 The Choir . Under the leadership of Martin Baker the choir continues to be a valuable asset and a strong unit. Their exceptional high standard and professionalism throughout the year was recognised by the local and wider community, with requests for external services regularly received. The choir is always open to new members to supplement the strong sound already in place. Much emphasis is placed on music within our churches, and we are very blessed to be able to maintain a flourishing choral tradition within the parish. The Choir though is not without challenge; but through solid leadership
and prayer will hopefully continue to offer praises to God through song for generations to come.
2 The Social Committee. We thank them, and those who act on the periphery, for their continued support in these demanding times. Although 2022 was less challenging than previous years of Covid-19, it did not go without. The team though showed resilience, fortitude and a willingness to support church activities through solid planning and execution. The year 2023 will see an increase in social events, with many already planned and implemented.
3 Those who organise the Open the Book sessions have also been challenged in a number of ways but are now providing our two church schools with live sessions: these continue to be very successful.
4 We are immensely fortunate that those involved in the upkeep of the fabric of the church retain energy and enthusiasm to undertake the continuous routine tasks that our buildings and grounds require. Special thanks go to: Kevin Greenwood, Tony Denton, and Martin Baker. Their love for our churches and their historical role within the life of the community is greatly appreciated.
5 The Flower Guild : We fully appreciate and give thanks for the work of those who arrange our flowers so that our churches are a fitting tribute to God, and to those who meticulously clean and keep them pristine. This often goes unnoticed or is taken for granted; but like many other areas of church this work is vital in enhancing our worship, making our beautiful churches fit to be called houses of God.
- The Green Team : The Green Team have continued to work tirelessly for our churches during the past year, attempting to reduce our carbon footprint, whilst offering us new and improved green initiatives for both church and home,. There work is vital if we are to help meet the Church of England’s ambitious plan of carbon net-zero by 2030. Work towards XBronze certification continues at pace.
7 The Bells : Strangely, what often goes unnoticed are the bells of St Oswald’s Church. Along with the fabric of the church they have been an integral part of the community for hundreds of years, rung to herald the beginning of worship and other special occasions. The ringers continue to offer up a beautiful sound that is greatly appreciated by the local population and beyond. The future is now a lot brighter with an increase in numbers and really strong leadership.
-
Clergy and LLM : Much personal thanks go to the clergy of Fr John Richardson and Fr John Binks, our LLM Despina Hadjiouannou, and LLM in Training Colin Avison for their continued support to the Rector and the parish through services and preaching engagements. Also, thanks to God for our lay ministers in training, Margaret Whitaker and Dawn Baker, who have puy themselves forward for training. All the team continue to deliver the highest standard of liturgical services and support which are greatly received and appreciated by all.
-
Also, a vote of thanks to the Time With God Team and Christian Contemplation for their continuance to offer a both weekly and monthly streamed prayer and meditation service. It is such as these that allow our churches to provide varied offerings that attract a variety of people both physically and through social media.
10 The work of our pastoral carers and home communion teams continues to be greatly valued and deeply appreciated by those in need. They not only provide service and pastoral care, but also allow the church to be delivered beyond its four walls. Pastoral care outside of church is now being overseen by Fr John Richardson, looking At best practice in line with Diocesan guidelines. Thanks must also be given to those who represent the church on the governing bodies of our schools and synods. Like all other aspects of church life, those involved, in whatever way, deserve our praise, support, and prayers.
11, The Sunday School Team are a credit to our church, offering a SWunday provision for our church children. A big ‘thank you’ to Sarah Pickett for organising and managing the rota of teachers, and for planning what is to be taught. We are very blessed to have an enthusiastic team who, not only love working with children, but have a zeal for teaching the Word of God.
Additional thanks given to Sarah for taking on the Baby & Toddler Group after Nicola Knight stood down to return to work. Much appreciation for Nicola who resurrected the group after Mr and Mrs King left the area.
12 We are very grateful to those who financially support the church in whatever way possible – large and small. The best way to ‘give’ is through Stewardship scheme envelopes or by standing order. Failing this the use of gift-aid envelopes is encouraged, especially for one-off contributions, as it allows us to claim tax relief where possible. We continue to push the need for increased finance through our occasional services of baptisms, weddings and funerals.
With the advent of significant repairs and new improvements to the fabric and liturgical life of both St Oswald’s and St Paul’s, church-giving is now more important than ever if we are to realise our aspirations and continue to provide churches that are accessible and comfortable for all of God’s people. We therefore also give thanks to the work of the Finance Committee whose diligence in matters of money have allowed us to move the parish forward in a financially sound way, with particular thanks given to our treasurer Brenda Jackson, and her support staff of Joan Usher and Alan Jackson. Their diligence in matters financial is vital if we are to continue offering a Christian presence here in Guiseley and Esholt.
The Parish Share was unfortunately not met by the PCC, though under the circumstances of global financial insecurity and increased cost of living is understandable. We did though manage to pay £70,891, which is a great achievement. We endeavour to improve on that this year.
Reserves Policy. It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible), which equates to approximately six months’ unrestricted payments to cover emergency situations that may arise. It is our policy to invest our fund balances with various institutions.
- Extra mention must again be given to Pat Sunderland who, not only covers the position of Verger, but also acts as sacristan, admin assistant, buyer, and a plethora of other things that go unseen. It is fair to say that without her the Rector’s ministerial life would be a lot more challenging, if not impossible.
Also, thanks to Anne Harrison at St Paul’s Esholt for all her hard work as verger, unofficial building custodian, and Sunday-school teacher. Without her love and care the church just wouldn’t be the same.
14 We once again extend that thanks to Tony Denton for not only examining our accounts, but for the abundance of work that he selflessly dedicated himself to at St Oswald’s, which often passes under the radar.
15 As previously mentioned, a heartfelt thanks again goes out to all those who do exceptional work for the church, but which often goes unnoticed. If you have failed to be mentioned here the fault is my own doing, but do not underestimate my gratitude for all that you do. Along with all others mentioned here, your work and ministry is vital to this parish.
16 Finally, a posthumous ‘thank you’ to our dearly departed friends who passed away this year, who gave so much to our churches and are greatly
missed by many. They were not just prominent people within the church, but also friends and colleagues. They leave a big hole that will be hard to fill.
Lastly the Rector would once again like to offer his thanks and gratitude to all who continue to support him and his family here in Guiseley and Esholt. Your love and care is gratefully received by both Sarah and I.
Rector’s Vision as of 26 April 2023. We are starting to see continued growth and a return of confidence within our churches. Baptism bookings are high, whilst wedding bookings, though lower than pre-pandemic, are on the increase. We continue to carry out extraordinary large numbers of funerals against the average.
With confidence on the rise we have been able to increase committee meetings. The social committee has met twice this year with plans for many social events that will bring people together. Our monthly Soup & Recital offering continues to prove very popular, thanks to the hard work of Mr Baker and the team. And we are please that More Tea Vicar has made a monthly comeback, thanks to the hard work and diligence of Jane Girt.
The Strategic Committee continue to meet, looking at ways of improving the strategic overview of church vision. Because of its hard work the committee has seen the successful re-introduction of the midweek Eucharist at At Oswald’s (but with a post service breakfast); the resurrection of Time-Out (under the new name of Christian Contemplation) on the first Saturday morning of the month , and More-Tea-Vicar at the Parish Centre.
We will aspire to restarting our parish pilgrimages in the not-too-distant future. PrePandemic, thes proved to be very popular and will hopefully prove popular again.
A fly in the ointment though is a lack of volunteers to help with the life of our churches. During a recent trawl for volunteers to help with various aspects of church life we received only 4 offers of assistance. This poses a challenge. If we are to maintain a thriving loving church that can offer everything it can in pursuit of gospel teachings, we need God’s children to step up to the plate in whatever capacity is manageable. Without volunteers, church life and worship will become difficult. which in turn may possibly impede growth.
The overall future of the parish looks rosy. We do though have challenges of finance and infrastructure, especially at St Paul’s, but continue to hold faith in God and His purposes for us. With His love and guidance and our hard work in proclaiming the Gospel to all of His children, through our many and varied activities, we will undoubledly go from strength to strength.

CHURCHWARDENS FABRIC REPORT APRIL 2023. ST OSWALD’S CHURCH, GUISELEY.
Works which have been completed this year include:
Draft excluders have been fitted to all external doors and the pipe organ pedal board has been blocked off to prevent cold down drafts.
The quinquennial inspections by the architect have been carried out, but as yet we do not have his reports. Having accompanied the architect during his inspections, - I do know that there is remedial work to be carried out both here at St Oswald’s and also at St Paul’s.
Clearing cobwebs and dust from the high level areas, here at St Oswald’s.
Inspection of the roof over the North Aisle to establish where the defect is, in an attempt to prevent water ingress. This needs professional attention.
The faults to the external electrical wiring have been identified.
As there are no records of the underground wiring routes, each circuit was tested to identify where on the system it is connected. A layout drawing has been produced showing what goes where and where it comes from.
A cable to the light standard near to the South door was found to have an underground joint, somewhere between the connection point and the standard. W (Tony, Martin and myself) had to dig a trench, starting at the standard, until we found the joint, which was only a few inches below the surface and of a type totally unsuitable for an underground jointing. It left the metal lighting standard un-earthed. A new cable has been laid in the trench which has been filled. A new joint has not yet been made. The digging of the trench was extremely hard work, which we carried out over a period of three weeks.
Many minor works were carried out on a needs to be done basis.
Proposed works for the coming year.
Completion of the external electrical works, including installing new LED floodlights to illuminate the west end of the Church and tower.
The five year electrical testing by an independent electrician.
Replacement of all LED floodlights with high efficiency units.
Automatic controls and thermpstate to the heating in the Parish centre.
Modifications to the Lectern bookrest.
Prociding illumination to the Lectern.
Alterations to the Carlton room to create a multi-use room, with catering facilities.
Removing the inner west door and replacing it with a glass door.
Removing the old dis-coloured Perspex fro the windows and having the windows professionally cleaned – they are exceptionally dirty.
Repairs to the north side of the roof over the Lady Chapel.
Remedial works to both St Paul’s and St Oswald’s in relation to the quinquennnial reports. I was with the architect when he carried out his inspections, so I am aware of some of the issues, but not in great detail.
The report will include some work to the roof at St Paul’s which will require to be carried out by a professional roofer or stone mason. The extent of the work at St Oswald’s includes painting the rainwater downpipes, replacing damaged or missing cast iron fittings, replacing brackets with the original style brackets, pointing of the north wall at high level, work on the organ loft tower lead flashing, attention to cracks in the stonework above the east end window. There will of course be more, most of which cannot be done in-house.
Modifications and refurbishment of notice boards in the South porch.

Churchwardens and Trustees of the Charity.
REPORT ON THE FABRIC, GOODS AND ORNAMENTS. ST. PAUL’S CHURCH, ESHOLT, 2022/23.
In the course of the last year it has become clear that there are significant problems in relation to the state of the ceiling and roof at St Paul’s Church, Esholt. Investigations are ongoing to ascertain the nature of the problem and possible solutions. In addition the heating system has been condemned and will need to be
replaced. A small committee has been convened to consider these matters and propose a way forward. As a result we are not able to hold services within the church at present. Fortunately the landlord of the Woolpack pub in Esholt has agreed that we can hold services in the pub for the time being.
On Saturday the 1[st] of April an Easter Trail fund raising event took place. We were pleased to be able to welcome not only parishioners, but pupils, staff and parents from Hawksworth School to the event. The Quinquennial Inspection has now taken place and the report is awaited. The graveyard has been inspected regularly during which the gravestones were checked to ensure that they are in a safe condition.

• An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the PCC concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-

The Parish of Guiseley with Esholt. Independent examiner’s report to the PCC of Guiseley with Esholt. Year ending 31[st] December 2022.
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2022
Respective responsibilities of the PCC and the Independent Examiner
• As members of the PCC you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements, and you consider that the audit requirement of the Regulations and s.144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 does not apply. It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
Follow procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section
-
145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of this report
-
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity
-
Commission.
• An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the PCC concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act , or
-
to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records and comply with the accounting
-
requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
-
to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
