He also thanked Fiona McCaghrey for her love and support and reminded those present of the huge contribution CLW made until her death a year ago. Reflection: MM invited ST to lead those present in a reflection. ST said that she had read the annual report and noted a theme running through it – namely that ASM has been sowing seeds, some of which are bearing fruit, reminding us that we do not always see the fruits of the seeds we sow and that we cannot always know what effect we are having, but to continue in the same vein in the coming year. Reports: There were no questions on the reports in the Annual Reports Booklet. ## CHILD PROTECTION AND VULNERABLE ADULT POLICY: Fiona McCaghrey is to take over as the named person for both the above roles. Janet Day is stepping down from her role as named person for Vulnerable Adults.

These increases in voluntary giving show in the comparative figures with 2018. This has resulted in a balance at the end of the year of just over £12,000, compared to £4,098 at the beginning of the year. The reduction in the Other Receipts comes about because of the Legacy received in 2018. With regard to payments the most significant increase during the year is in the All Saints Repairs & Maintenance costs due to the payments made from the Boiler Fund for the installation of the replacement boiler. The Mission Giving also increased as it included £2000 from the legacy received in 2018 as agreed by the PCC. The Significant Incident is fully reported in Note 5f). ## **DESIGNATED FUNDS** At the end of the year there are three designated funds: Cynthia Wake Legacy with a balance of £8,000. Mission Giving Fund - to which the monthly mission giving figure is transferred. Mission Resources Fund with a balance of £235 from a £500 allowance from the Benefice Resources Fund. ## **RESTRICTED FUNDS** The Boiler Fund, which still has a regular donor, is used towards the cost of the heating oil. The ASM & SPMB Fabric Fund now forms part of the ASM & SPMB Conservation Fund. The balance on the Miscellaneous Collections Fund relates to the Christingle collection for The Children’s Society. All other Restricted Funds are self-explanatory and the total receipts in and payments out are shown in Note 4. This year we have been truly blessed with resources to carry forward into 2020 and use to glorify God’s name and reach out to those who do not yet know God’s love. ## **Barbara Crawshaw - Treasurer** ## **Electoral Roll Report 2019 / 2020** The total on the electoral roll for the 2020 APCM is 69, a reduction of 2 against last year. 15 **Churchwardens’ Report 2019** ## **Buildings and Fabric** In March 2019 we had our Quinquennial (5 yearly) Inspection, aka QI, carried out on both All Saints and St. Peter’s, Mattishall Burgh. The churchyard at St. Peter’s, unlike at ASM, is still open for burials and accounts for the vast majority of work done at that end of the village, with work continuing to bring the churchyard up to scratch. There is the ongoing work of levelling graves which have settled so that the contractor can mow the grass properly and we have had some work done on the trees as well. Thankfully, the work is bearing fruit and some of the people who walk through the churchyard with their dogs and those who attend the graves have commented on how nice the churchyard is beginning to look. However, the work is ongoing and time-consuming. St. Peter’s church itself has not been used for any services this year and the QI found that there was no _urgent_ work to be done on the building apart from a dodgy ladder going up the tower. However, some work is required to prevent further deterioration. At ASM, the churchyard is the responsibility of the Parish Council who regularly have it mown and keep it in good nick. There has been some work done on the trees by the Parish Council, but we have continued to sweep seemingly unending amounts of leaves during the Autumn, and we keep the weeds down on the paths ourselves. Though this is not strictly our responsibility, we like to keep it looking good and safe for people using the church and churchyard. Now for the biggie. ASM’s building itself is in reasonable shape with no major deficiencies. However, no significant _maintenance_ work has been done for some years apart from new main doors in 2019 (we are not counting the new boiler as _maintenance_ here). This means that things are piling up and a major amount of work needs to be done over the next few years. We are not sure of the total cost, but we are estimating that it will be around £250,000 in total. Roughly. Ish. To organise and oversee this work, a team has been set up, entitled the ASM Restoration and Refreshment team (“R & R” for short). It is headed by Jackie Clay and includes the churchwardens (Sue and Alan Cossey), our fabric officer (Eddie Stone) and our treasurer (Barbara Crawshaw). We have identified some work that we can carry out ourselves, but will work with our architect, Nigel Walter, who was also responsible for conducting the QI. We are fortunate in that Gonville and Caius (pronounced “keys”) College in Cambridge will be responsible for some of the work to be done on the chancel. We are also aiming to not just repair stuff, but to improve ASM’s facilities somewhat by installing a servery and possibly an extra toilet, assuming we can raise enough money. Some major funding will be needed to get any significant amount of the work required. Organisation of the getting of funds is being handled by the Conservation Fund group, which overlaps somewhat in membership with the R & R group itself. ## **Boiler** As you will be aware, the new oil-powered boiler was commissioned and has been running well. We still have something of a problem in getting the right level of heating, but, as long as it keeps working, we no longer have to sit wrapped up in thick coats, scarves, long johns and gloves. The temperature that the system has been getting to is around 18 degrees, though we have not yet had a really cold snap to test it. You may still feel a draft near the back of the main seating, but that is due to drafts coming from broken panes of glass and the general leakiness of the building. Though replacement of such glass is very expensive indeed, we aim to have it handled in the main R & R project. We are sincerely thankful to the boiler team who worked hard on getting this up and running and sorting out the initial problems in a tactful yet firm manner. 16 ## **Roof Alarm** Over recent years there have been many thefts of lead from church roofs around the country, including in Norfolk and in built up areas (dropping sheets of lead from a height during such a theft does not make much noise). A scheme was set up a couple of years ago to fund the installation of alarms, with church congregations paying for the maintenance and running of the alarms. In the two years before the launch of the scheme, there were 48 thefts in 2 years in Norfolk/Norwich diocese, which has been reduced to 26 in the 2 years since (see https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/crime/innovative-scheme-to-protect-norfolk-churches-is-provingto-be-a-success-1-6257727 for details). We bid for such funding and were accepted. The alarm was installed and commissioned in October 2019 and is now up and running. However, it at the end of 2019 we were getting some activations of the alarms, which need sorting out and which may be draining the batteries which power the system currently. If we need to connect the system to the mains, there may be some significant outlay of money required. Currently, we have to pay a not insignificant amount for ongoing maintenance of the alarm system, but this has been partially offset by a reduction in our insurance premium. However, the main benefit is that the likelihood of having the lead stripped from the roof has been reduced. Such a loss would involve huge cost (there being a limit to how much the insurance company would pay out) and major effort to get the church up and running again. ## **Church Inventory (Terrier)** There is nothing too exciting to report. The communion table and rail that were moved down to St. Peter’s near the end of 2018 will now be disposed of, as will some surplus and worn communion table frontals. ## **Assistant Wardens** Our sincere thanks go to all who help us in our task, particularly the assistant wardens (Stephen, Eddie, John, Bruce, Les and Steve). We would particularly like to thank Steve for organising the rota and for “wardening” at so many services. ## **Sue and Alan Cossey** ## **Safeguarding Report 2019** In 2019, we hosted a training event which was run by the safeguarding team in the Diocese for Churchwardens, those working with young people and vulnerable adults and Mattishall PCC. In 2020, we are hosting further training for those Church Wardens, Mattishall PCC and those people who lead events involving young people and vulnerable adults. These events were also open to people who hold similar roles within the Deanery. Throughout this year, all PCCs have complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). Although I am the Parish Safeguarding Officer for the safeguarding of children in the benefice, safeguarding is all our responsibility; so if you have any worries or concerns, please phone me on 07736301549 and I will respond as soon as I am able to. Thank you for your support. **Fiona McCaghrey** 17 ## **Dereham and Mitford Deanery Synod 2019** There were three meetings of the Deanery Synod in 2019: 27[th] February 2019, 2[nd] July 2019, and 17[th] October 2019 The February meeting was held at Church House in Dereham. Rev Louisa Pittman was licensed at the end of March to the curacy of the Barnham Broom Group. She explained her journey to ministry in rural Norfolk from South Carolina. We also heard Rev Heather Butcher’s insight into her first experience of General Synod and the Rural Dean Rev Mark McCaghrey gave us some insight into his sabbatical on Luke 15. In July Swanton Morley kindly hosted the Synod and Summer Social. Our speakers were Rev Sally Theakston and Robert Culyer. Reverend Sally Theakston was invited to give her reflections on her time in the Deanery. Sally spoke about her ordination 30 years ago and how her work in the Navy, Hackney, Putney, Gaywood and Dereham had shown her how people share the same dreams and hopes. She said how the Team is facing a time of great challenge now, with generations of people unfamiliar with hymns, church, liturgy, bible, and faith. She sees ministry now as a mission ministry going back to the time of the disciples who also faced indifference in the general population. There will be challenges around how to use our buildings, how to raise the parish share, ageing congregations such that we will need to develop different ways of having clergy, perhaps more as an organisational role in the future rather than pastoral. Sally asked the question, what will ministry look like in 30 years’ time? Sally has hope and knows that working with God is the way forward. Robert Culyer (Funding Support Officer for the Diocese) talked about stewardship and legacies. Charities gain 50% of their income from legacies while the church is getting 7.5% of its income from legacies. Robert was keen for us to promote and celebrate legacies among our congregations, possibly having a Legacy Officer in each benefice. We were also encouraged to engage with our local communities, not just for fund raising but also inviting people to help the church with their talents and skills and using our buildings as community hubs. In October, the meeting was held at All Saints, Mattishall. We had two speakers: Rev. Canon Heather Butcher - _Every Day Faith._ Heather talked about the initiative _Setting God’s People Free._ It encourages lay people to become more confident in discipleship. We are all called to be Disciples. Everybody should be encouraged and enabled to lead intercession and to share their faith stories. The Lay Development and Spirituality Officer (Rev Susannah Gunner) has been appointed. Clergy and laity share in the discipling of the nation. Story is a very important tool in discipleship. Further News: Rev Sally Theakston has been appointed as Bishop Graham’s Chaplain. Bishop Jonathan’s 2020 Lent project will be Papua New Guinea. Safeguarding – on-going training for Church Wardens, PCCs, clergy, lay readers etc. The Diocese has appointed Nicola King and there is a lot of information on the website. Awareness was raised of an attempted theft of lead from South Walsham. Bishop Graham will be visiting the Deanery on 11[th] March 2020. The Archdeacon’s Visitation to Deaneries will take place on 20[th] June 2020 at Mattishall. This is open to all members in addition to clergy and church wardens. ## **Theresa Hewett - Deanery Synod Secretary** 18 THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND Diocese of Norwich Independent Examiners Certificate R•port to the trustttsl Mom￿rn of: q¢tOUli AL C144RoiI co(4NLIL *) kkYAiN rriS1 On accounts lor th• yoar ond•d. 31.thr J)6£4 %L 2020 113503 Charfty no lil any}: I repori lo the truslees on my ex8rninalkn ol lh8 accywnts ol the atove thaiity 1.tho Tntsl-) lor Ihe yeafended t51 likl IIJL Ra$ponsSbllltl•s and ba815 of roport As Ihg charitys trustees, you 8fe responsObFe for Iho preparalion of the accounts kn accordance with the requirements ol the Chaiilies Act 2011 1"Ihe Acl").

And this strangeness is reflected in the accounts for the year. ASM’s general fund started the year with a healthy surplus of £10,177 due to a generous response to an appeal in 2019. As the majority of the church family’s giving is by standing orders, our receipts have varied little from the previous year. Sadly, however, due to the pandemic, our activities have been curtailed and therefore little cost has been involved. The parish share and insurance have remained much the same as 2019 but some overheads have reduced. The result of all this has meant a further increase in the General Fund balance which at the end of the year stands at £19,730. There has also been money coming in from COVID grants regarding the church office and church rooms buildings. As the church office is run for the benefice this money has helped reduced the cost of running the office. The remainder of the money relating to the church rooms will go to essential repair work. The balance in the fund for the benefice office costs at the end of the year is £14,766. This more than covers the agreed reserve and will therefore be under review in 2021. With regard to the balance in ASM’s general fund, consideration and thanks must be given to the amount of work undertaken by the R & R (Restoration & Refreshment) team during this “quiet” time in the church in progressing the plans that will enable the church to be used for more outreach occasions. Having a healthy balance in the general fund will support the applications for various grants to enable this work to be carried to completion. Along with the general fund there are other funds as detailed below: ## **DESIGNATED FUNDS (these can be un-designated by the PCC)** The balance of the Cynthia Wake Legacy £7,000 (this is now part of a Special Projects fund) Mission Resources Fund with a balance of £235 from a £500 allowance from the Benefice Resources Fund. ## **RESTRICTED FUNDS** The Restricted Funds are self-explanatory and the total receipts in and payments out are shown in Note 4. Some of the Worship Band equipment balance may well be utilised this year as part of the reorganisation within the church. Although the events of 2020 are not what anyone would have wanted to happen, nevertheless it has given a time when we have been able to venture into new projects - both digital (zoom services and group meetings) and practical (re-ordering the church building to enhance its use and make necessary repairs). We must trust in the Lord that he will guide us into a fresh and fruitful future. ## **Barbara Crawshaw** ## **Electoral Roll 2020 / 2021** ## **Total Roll is 67** This is a reduction of 2 against the previous year. 30 **Rector’s Reflection for 2020** It is difficult to know how to reflect on 2020 without becoming glib or bombastic. First of course, it is important to recognise those in our communities for whom 2020 was a year of loss. Lost loved ones. Lost time. Lost relationships. Lost business. And for those it has been hard – forced to be in lockdown with those who abuse them; on the breadline because they have lost their jobs; those who have struggled to access healthcare or whose lives have felt on pause; those who have been locked down on their own. But I believe we can also give thanks. Thanks for those who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes, in the NHS, essential shops and services, and the many, many other people in this country and around the world who have ensured that despite the huge shock of the pandemic, we have been able to get through this most difficult of times without the famines, millions of deaths and other effects of previous similar pandemics. Thanks for the ingenuity and skill of the scientists who were able to map the virus and create successful vaccines in record time. Thanks for those in our communities who have come alongside neighbour and stranger in their time of need. And for those around the world who have worked tirelessly in foodbanks and among vulnerable communities to ensure that they would not be forgotten. Thanks for the consideration shown by those who step to one side as you walk, wear masks in enclosed spaces, and keep away from you. Thanks for the opportunities as those who live in small villages of being able to obey the lockdown rules of staying at home, but yet still being able to walk in the countryside. Thanks for the technology which has meant we can meet together with family and friends despite being scattered across this country or the world and has meant we can meet together as a benefice church family. Thanks for the good new things in our world, inspired by the creativity of the human mind and the fluttering of the wings of the Holy Spirit. Thanks for the hope we have in Jesus Christ, which means we can trust in God through the darkest of times. Thanks for the staff team here who have adjusted to new ways of working and continued to support our benefice church family, and those who have taken part week by week. Thanks for those who have carried on to enable our parishes to carry on into the future despite the shock of this year and the closure of buildings. Thanks for friends and family and those who encourage and support. As we hold our APCMs in 2021 we will be hoping that the road out of lockdown is a sure and steady one, but the future will not be the same as the past. We are not the same people we were in March 2020 and neither are our villages. 31 Things have changed and we face increased challenges. We have lost valued members of our congregations. Members of the staff team have stepped down or wish to change the focus of their ministry in a way which means they will be less available for Sunday worship. And for parishes which relied on people bringing cash to collections or fund-raising events there is a real fear that money will run out in 2021. But there is also opportunity. People in our villages have also had time to reflect and re-evaluate their lives. And if people never ‘go back to the office’ in the same way, they may be around in our communities in a way we haven’t seen for fifty years. Are we attentive to the opportunities to be a listening ear, a welcoming presence, an encourager of healthy patterns of life? So let us open our eyes and our lives to the God who does a new thing (Isaiah 43:19) and is at work in our world and in people’s lives, pandemic, or no pandemic. ## **Rev Mark McCaghrey** ## **Churchwardens’ Report 2020** ## **Buildings and Fabric - ASM** This last year 2020 has seen no major inroads into the items required to be done under our Quinquennial Inspection Report carried out in 2019. Most of the items listed have been transferred to our R & R Project which is being formulated. A few smaller items have been carried out, such as some new lighting in the ringing chamber and an electrical connection made available for future use for the roof alarm. The room stat for the boiler has been moved to a position where it will control the heating more efficiently. This work was undertaken by Wensum Electrical. Some minor lead repairs have been carried out on the South and North Aisle roofs. However, this revealed more major works required and a report was compiled by Eastern Foundry Lead Ltd. The cost of the work was quoted at £13,670 and exceeded funds we had available, so a grant was applied for with Historic England. A grant of £11,500 was given and the work is now planned for this year, subject to the necessary bat surveys being carried out. Volunteers have worked on repairing areas of lime mortar requiring attention and keeping the exterior of the church walls ivy free. This is work required on an on-going basis. More shingle has been added to the boundary of the church building wall to ensure better weed control. The churchyard grass is cut on a regular basis by contractors paid for by the Parish Council, but we continue to weed, sweep and generally keep the churchyard in a tidy condition. The Parish Council have also paid for damage to the corner of the boundary wall around the churchyard and are repairing the side gate onto the road by the fish and chip shop. Plans are also afoot to alter the gate onto the Dereham Road to make it safer including handrails. Normal yearly inspections and servicing have been carried out. Fire extinguishers and the boiler have been serviced and the organ has been tuned. 32 ## **Buildings and Fabric - St. Peters Mattishall Burgh** The church has remained out of use this last year and most of the work is maintaining the churchyard. Grass is cut regularly by contractors and the hedge is cut annually by Chris Bingham from the neighbouring farm. Volunteers regularly weed and tidy the Memorial Garden and attend to graves requiring attention, either levelling or disposing of dead flowers and wreaths. ## **R & R Project** This project has continued throughout this last year with plans being drawn up for a new kitchen servery, an additional toilet, four areas of storage and clearing the Tower Room of storage items to utilise it as a room. In addition, various others work, such as levelling the floor in the lady chapel, installing ramps at the main entrance doors and removing the remainder of the pews is planned. Together with all of these improvements we plan to carry out major maintenance works as defined in the last QI Report. The estimated cost of this project is in the region of £300,000 for which grants will be sought to help with the cost. Work has also started on plans to up-date our audio visual equipment and should be completed in the next year. ## **Church Inventory (Terrier)** No changes have been made during the last year and all items are accounted for. ## **Assistant Wardens** We would like to express sincere thanks to our assistant wardens (Stephen, Eddie, John, Bruce Les and Steve) who help at Sunday morning services and do a valuable job ensuring everything runs smoothly. ## **Alan and Sue Cossey** ## **Safeguarding Report 2020** The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to have regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults). Training was held in the Benefice at the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 towards training local volunteers and PCC members in the Foundation (C1) and Leadership (C2) models. Unfortunately, more local training has not been possible owing to Covid-19 restrictions. ## **Fiona McCaghrey** ## **Deanery Synod Report 2020** On 11[th] March 2020 **,** the new Bishop of Norwich, Bishop Graham, visited the Deanery. Evensong was held in St. Nicholas’ Church followed by refreshments and a Question-and-Answer session. +Graham answered questions on his journey into ministry, his love of bees (but surprisingly not honey), and his connections with Norfolk. He expressed his delight at coming to Norfolk and said he was in conversation about a joint vision for the church in Norfolk during his tenure. The environment, evangelism and deepening discipleship and our life in prayer will be part of his focus. (This vision has now been produced and agreed by Diocesan Synod). Little did we know at the time that this was almost the last time we could have a meeting of people mingling in a building and sharing food and drink together! **Mark McCaghrey** 33
