Deanery of Fordham and Quy, Diocese of Ely Parochial Church Council Annual Report & Financial Statements for the year ended 31st December 2023
Parochial Church Council 2023
The following served as members of the PCC: Incumbent: The Revd Alice Goodman Licensed Lay Minister: Steve Mashford Churchwarden: David Gant
Treasurer: Andrew Tristram PCC Secretary: Sally Hames Representative on the Deanery Synod: Steve Mashford Elected members: David Gant, Sally Hames, Jordan Savage, Anne Swaysland, Anita Whitehead
BACKGROUND
The purpose of the Report is to paint a picture of the life and activities of our village church here in Fulbourn in 2023 and to note the condition of the church building and the state of the church’s finances. Over the course of this year, the church’s life has been in the process of rebuilding.
The Parochial Church Council has the responsibility of co-operating with the Rector in promoting the whole mission of the Anglican Church within the Parish of Fulbourn, encompassing all pastoral, missional, social and ecumenical aspects of the work of the Church. St Vigor with All Saints, Fulbourn, is part of a plurality with St Nicholas, Great Wilbraham, St John the Evangelist, Little Wilbraham and St George’s, Six Mile Bottom. The PCC has maintenance responsibilities for the church building and churchyard area.
Members of the PCC are either ex officio or are elected by the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) in accordance with the Church Representation Rules. The PCC meets at least 4 times a year but also operates through a number of groups or committees, which meet as required during the year, often as a result of issues raised at PCC meetings. These include the Standing Committee.
Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults
As a benefice we have a policy showing we are committed to valuing, listening to and respecting children, young people and vulnerable adults. This includes safe recruitment, supervision, training and DBS checks where applicable. This policy is available in Twelve and each church. Our Safeguarding officer is Mary Kendall.
Outreach and pastoral care
-
Eucharist every Sunday; in addition, the 8 am said BCP service is celebrated on the first Sunday of the month, as well as on Remembrance Sunday, and on Christmas and Easter. There is Evensong on the first and third Sundays of the month.
-
Services for the great festivals of the church year and occasional offices (Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals) for the great events of human life.
-
A Sunday School, meeting in church every week, plus weekly resources emailed for learning and worship at home.
-
Outreach to the ecclesiastical parish of Fulbourn: ‘Baby Dragons’, a flourishing Mothers, Babies and Toddlers group. ‘Twelve,’ our parish centre on the High Street and all it does. The services at Home Close have resumed.
-
The Rector has led regular assemblies and services for Fulbourn Primary School and taught RE to individual classes. The school observed ‘Citizenship Day’ by sending a year group to St Vigor’s to learn about the church and to try out bell-ringing, prayer-writing, brass-polishing, and flower-arranging under the watchful eyes of Andrew Tristram, Ben Davidson, Jean Doe and her team, and the Rector.
-
We enjoyed a carol-singing evening in The Six Bells, our local. The Fulbourn Hospital Outpatients’ chat group met at St Vigor’s, in the churchyard, though it has now moved to the Edge Café in the hospital grounds. The Community Choir was been relaunched in September 2022 by the then Director of Church and Community Music, Alison Daniels, and has grown under her successor, David Poulter. In March 2023, the Community Choir gave a concert in St Vigor's Church to raise money for Arthur Rank Hospice, as well as performing at the Winter Fair and the Fulbourn Feast.
-
The Rector serves as an ex-officio trustee of the Village Charities and as an Alms House Trustee.
-
We have a welcoming presence on Fulbourn High Street in our Parish Centre, ‘Twelve’, offering a place to sit, a hot drink and a listening ear. We are again providing a photocopying service, selling cards, gifts and second-hand books. Our former Parish Assistant, Rob Hawkins, set up a plastic free initiative called Twelve Green Bottles. This has been a huge success, supplying refills of a wide variety of cleaning products, reusable cleaning pads, bamboo toothbrushes and the like. ‘Twelve’ is also our parish office and the headquarters of ‘The Mill’. In 2023 Tim Wood was succeeded as manager of Twelve by Mike Wignall, for whose salary we are grateful to the Wright’s Clock Land CIO.
-
Bereaved families are visited and supported by the Rector and her team. We held our All Souls’ Service to remember by name deceased friends and relatives.
-
We faithfully work to maintain the structure and interior of our Grade II Listed church and the beauty of our churchyard.
-
We publish our Parish Magazine, ‘The Mill’, a comprehensive monthly magazine for the village under a new editor, Chris Meakin, with an editorial board composed of the Rector and Anne Swaysland.
-
We maintain an interesting and up to date website, thanks to Dr Martin Herrick, our webmaster www.fulbournandthewilbrahams.co.uk. We also have established a presence on social media.
-
The work of the Church continues to be led by our Rector, the Revd Alice Goodman who, since her arrival in 2011, has worked faithfully to cover the duties required by the four churches across the benefice. Steve Mashford continues as our L.L.M. helping with the running of the services, leading ‘Come and Join,’ and Bible studies, and being a vital member of this PCC and our Deanery Synod Rep. Our 2022/23 Pastoral Assistant, Ben Davidson, was a wonderful addition to the team, and we rejoice that he has remained a member of the parish, and is still teaching Sunday School. Sian Hornby is our efficient and utterly dependable Parish Administrator, as well as taking on the role of Choir Administrator. But we would achieve very little without our wonderful volunteers. So many in Fulbourn, not all regular church-goers, help the church not just financially but by giving practical help, giving up
their time for others in one way or another; for example, our many Twelve volunteers, Richard Doe who has found his métier helping with Baby Dragons, those who have organised and been a part of the serving team, who deliver copies of The Mill, serve on the PCC, clean the church, wind the clock, mow the grass, grow and arrange the flowers, bring and serve refreshments and make music. The PCC would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all of you, without whom there would be very little to talk about in this Report! We especially wish to thank Horace White, who has handed over his clock winding after 64 years to his daughter Polly Hodgson and her son Henry. All over the country churches, charities and voluntary groups have been finding it difficult to recruit volunteers to keep their work alive and so we are especially grateful for all our volunteers here in the parish of St Vigor’s with All Saints and determined to support them. In 2023 Dr Michael Carr was awarded the Diocese of Ely’s Etheldreda Award for half a century of dedicated service to St Vigor’s as choirmaster and crucifer and above all as the man who almost
During the year we benefited from the presence of ordinands on placement and attachment.
Between January and July we had James Butler with us: and Raúl Arkaia joined us, first for Holy Week and Easter, and then on summer placement. Our ordinands have variously assisted at Baby Dragons and at the pastoral offices, have read the lesson, led intercessions and taught Sunday School on a regular rota. James, who returned to us for the 2022/23 academic year, has led compline, taught Sunday School and joined the bell ringers. As a parish we are highly valued by our local theological colleges.
Being a training parish has been a valued part of our identity since at least 1835. Since September 2023 we have, sadly, been without an ordinand. This is one of the consequences of a drop in the number of ordinands in the Church of England, and much lower enrolments at the Cambridge theological colleges. Thanks to a grant from the Wright’s Clock Land CIO, we have renewed the programme of music and post of Director of Church and Community Music at St Vigor’s. Alison Daniels was appointed to this post in September 2022 and occupied the post for a little less than a year, refreshing our repertoire and renewing the community choir in the time she was here. Over the summer we said goodbye to Alison Daniels, thanking her for all she did in her year as Director of Church and Community Music, and in September we were joined by Emma Bourne and David Poulter as, respectively, Pastoral Assistant and Director of Church and Community Music. Mr Poulter, formerly Director of Music at Chester, Coventry and Liverpool Cathedrals, has shown himself to be a vital musical presence who we hope will put down roots in this parish. There have been upwards of six children joining the choir every week. Our congregations have been growing in number and in the number of families attending. We are not quite back to where we were when David Sheppard was Director of Music and organist and Michael Carr was Choirmaster, but we have that vision to inspire us. We are hugely grateful to Martin Herrick, Tim Vaughan-Lane, Mary Kendall and David Sheppard who have, in so many ways and for such a long period, created and fed a love of good church music here at St Vigor’s.
The Rector writes and circulates a benefice-wide weekly group email with news, prayer requests, reflections on scripture and attachments, including the Weekly Sheet and Sunday School activities to do at home. There were 3 baptisms, 3 weddings, plus one blessing of a civil marriage, and 16 funerals and services of thanksgiving in 2023. Morning Prayer was said from Common Worship Daily Prayer at 8.30 a.m. It is worth noting that the civil marriage we blessed was that of Jeremy Solly and Benjamin Wingfield, an occasion of great joy. We have since been asked to be the go to parish for the blessing of same sex unions in the Fordham and Quy Deanery.
Holy Week 2023 returned to something very near our pre-pandemic pattern with a Palm Sunday service with procession and reading of the Passion gospel. There was a service of Readings and Music for Passiontide on Monday evening, and the Maundy Thursday evening liturgy with footwashing, the eucharist of the Lord’s Supper, and the stripping of the altars. There was a most beautiful altar of repose for the reserved sacrament in its proper place above John Caraway’s tomb. We had a liturgy between 2 and 3 pm on Good Friday and the making of the Easter Garden by our Sunday School and other Fulbourn children on Holy Saturday. On Easter Day there was a Eucharist with egg
hunt. Ascension Day was commemorated with a morning eucharist in the Lady Chapel On Whit Sunday we gathered for a benefice Pentecost service at St George’s. The school year began
in September with the Blessing of the Backpacks. The flower arrangers made St Vigor’s beautiful for the Harvest Festival with exquisite arrangements of flowers and leaves, vegetables and fruit, nuts and grains and a plastic squirrel on the font. On All Saints, which is also the Feast of St Vigor, we had a procession (led by the dragon and St Vigor) and on All Souls’ there was a service remembering all those near our hearts who have died. Our services were uplifted and inspired by excellent music-making,
both from choir and our worship band. The Rector and the Revd Nigel Uden led the village’s Remembrance service. Advent began, as is our custom, with the Gift Service, coordinated by Jo and David Gant who assembled and delivered the Christmas hampers. And at Christmas the Blue Christmas service returned, joining our Service of Lessons and Carols, carols in the pub, the mighty Crib Service (where our teenagers took on most of the helping roles), Midnight Mass and the Holy Communion on Christmas morning.
Church and Community Music
We are always on the lookout for new recruits to join St Vigor’s church choir; it is completely free, it is fun, there is pizza (!), and it is an outstanding musical education for young people.
Special singing assemblies were held at Gt Wilbraham & Fulbourn Primary Schools in the Autumn Term, leading to a special “Taster” session in November for entry to the church choir. As a result of this recruitment drive, the number of choristers doubled from six to twelve.
The church choir also has a full complement of four professional singers, six regular volunteer singers, plus a good supply of additional musicians who like to join the choir for special services at Christmas and Easter and for occasional Evensongs.
We are normally able to sing three choral pieces on Sundays: an Introit, and two anthems during the administration – the trebles join in at least one piece, and the adults normally sing additional anthems to help maintain their interest & enthusiasm.
We are coping without a separate organist at the moment, but we engage someone for big
occasions so DP can conduct the choir.
“Come & Sing” Evensongs are held once a term and seem to attract singers from a wide area. We had a choir of over 30 in the Autumn Term – and over 40 the next time!
The Community Choir meets in the Primary School Hall on every Monday evening during termtime; it is completely free and is open to everyone in the village and beyond. With membership averaging at just over 30, the choir enjoys a varied repertoire including music by Elton John, Flanders and Swann, Gilbert and Sullivan, Lloyd Webber, Paul Simon & The Beatles. The choir sang at the Winter Fayre and for community carols at The Six Bells in December.
We seek to establish a reputation for musical excellence at St Vigor’s. We plan to establish a concert/recital series in the church, and we aim to attract more young people to the choir by way of Choral and Organ Scholarships.

Electoral Roll
In accordance with Church of England procedures, the Electoral Roll is reconstituted every year. There were 109 people on the Electoral Roll.
Church Finances 2023
• There is still significant concern for St Vigor’s financial health, but also some evidence that the downward trend has stopped. Income from voluntary donations, both regular giving and collections at services has stabilised. However, costs, especially utilities, have increased significantly. Our electricity bill will again rise sharply in the spring, when we go onto a new contract. Recent inflation still isn’t helping.
• Twelve is now showing a small surplus following Wrights’ assistance with a salary for Mike Wignall.
• As things stand, without a significant improvement in income, we will eat through our reserves in about 3 years. Then we will have to reduce our Parish Share.
I am very grateful to
-
Martin Herrick for still doing the Gift Aid work
-
Linda Norden for again acting as the Independent Examiner of our Accounts
-
The Mill team for their heroic efforts
-
Emma for help with administration
-
Everyone else for patience and good humour

Heating System
This was the first full year of operation of the new Dunphy “Church EcoMiser” system. Despite using a large amount of electrical energy during the year -28.7 MWh - the church was rarely warmed satisfactorily during cold weather. Air temperature rose by c ½ DegC per hour, the temperature flattening off significantly after some 10 hours of heating, thus giving a max rise of some 5DegC. So from a cold start at say 6DegC, after 10 hours heating the resulting air temperature was only say 11DegC. The radiant effect of the wall mounted radiators was not as useful as one would have wished. A number of the radiators are obscured by e.g. stored chairs, bookcases, pews, music stands etc. And during a service only the congregation in the side aisles is adjacent to any radiator. One of the advertised benefits of the Dunphy system is that it helps reduce dampness. We have not yet seen evidence of this. The bottoms of several columns in the
nave continue to deteriorate. It does now look as we were too hasty in installing the Dunphy system and should have placed more emphasis on heating the congregation, rather than the whole building. However – as we knew before taking out the old individual pew heaters - the wiring to these remains in place, so individual convector heaters could be placed in the pews. The cabling to the church can supply 160A per phase, thus allowing another say 40KW of heating. New fuses and a new supply contract would be needed. If this were done then the pew heaters could be used for heating the congregations at Sunday services, with the Dunphy radiators being switched on additionally when larger numbers are present.
Solar PV panels. The remaining work on the PV panel project: the cabling from the N transept to the inverter in Taffy’s room was completed in January. The metered output from the inverter, and the metered input from the mains supply were both connected to the church Broadband system so that inputs and outputs can be monitored via the SolarEdge website. See also section in this report on Climate Change.
Swifts in Tower. The CCTV cameras in the tower swift boxes - this year 2 each on the West and the South- were again in action, seeing 3 pairs of birds rear young – 2 on the South, 1 on the west. Birds were seen going in and out of 1 other South box; subsequent, post departure investigation, showed clear signs of nesting there too.
Churchyard . 2023 marked the end of an era with the retirement from the churchyard of Michael Carr. He has given unstinting service to St Vigor’s for some 50 years. Even in his ‘90’s he has been coming each day to the churchyard to do some work – light mowing, strimming, cutting back of ivy, trimming of paths, planting (mainly bulbs and bedding plants), leaf blowing/sweeping, watering, hoeing etc. He has contributed wonderfully to the improvement and maintenance of our churchyard over many decades, so that it is now one of the finest in the county. The PCC are hugely grateful to Michael for all he has done, so faithfully and unobtrusively. We wish him well in his retirement to Queens Court Bottisham.
Alan Claydon, who lives in Church Lane and is an experienced gardener, has agreed to take on mowing and path maintenance/weeding in the churchyard at £12/hour. His first recommendation was that the existing ride-on mower was unsuitable, and the PCC have now bought a Husquvarna 214TC mower (£4611, paid for by grant from Wright’s Clock Land CIO). An advantage of this mower is that it chops the cut grass to form a mulch, thereby eliminating the need to rake up and dispose of the cuttings after mowing. Alan has fitted an anchor point to the shed base and chained the new mower in position. He has also tidied the shed and provided proper storage for weedkiller etc.
As agreed in 2022 the roped off area to the east - not cut until September, was doubled in size. This late cutting practice allows wildflowers to set seed – and therefore to spread. It is also good for dragonflies, butterflies, grasshoppers, bees and other insects- and birds.
Ashes garden. The new ashes burials in 2023 brought the eastern edge of the double line of stones up to the resting places of Nigel Elsdon’s family, to the west of Nigel’s war grave. The PCC agreed that a new, single line of ashes stones be started, beginning at the west end, just north of the Revd Canon Brian Kerley’s stone. This will form a 3[rd] row of stones, set directly into the grass, midway between the existing bed and the gravel path. The first such stone will be David Mayer’s.

St Vigor’s and Climate Change
The Church of England believes that responding to climate change is an essential part of its responsibility to safeguard God's creation.
However, belief by itself has no effect! Action both positive - e.g. installing solar panels - and negative – switching things off - is needed.
Heating the building
The main way in which St Vigor’s contributes negatively to climate change is in heating the building. The new heating system uses nearly twice the electricity per hour of the old system (power is c50kW compared to c28kW). To heat a large, draughty, stone building requires a lot of energy, in 2023 we used 28.7 MWh. Using electricity for heating is much better than burning gas or oil directly. However currently a significant proportion of the UK’s electricity comes from burning gas – which produces CO2, leading to climate change. The variability of the carbon footprint of UK grid production over time is important. Sunday morning is an off peak time, when the base load of non-fossil fuel sources – mainly wind and nuclear - provides most of the electricity, and there is only a relatively small top up contribution from gas powered stations. However weekday evenings – when we have choir practice - are very much peak times, when the grid needs a relatively large input from gas. It turns out that heating the building for each hour on a weekday evening produces on average about twice the CO2 of each hour’s heating on a Sunday morning. We need to be careful in how much we heat the building, particularly on weekday evenings, the greatest climate saving device is still the off-switch.
Solar PV panels
This was the first full year of production by our solar panels, 5.2 MWh. That is equivalent to about 18% of our total electrical consumption of 28.7MWh. Most of the electricity from solar panels is produced in the summer months when the energy used by the church is low. The winter months, when St Vigor’s uses a lot of electricity for heating the building, give relatively little output from solar panels. So the great majority of the carbon free electricity from St Vigor’s panels (81% in 2023) was exported to other users, rather than being used in the church. To put it another way, only 3% of our electricity consumption was provided directly by our solar panels. All of this is as anticipated when the panels were planned. We see using our roof space to generate carbon free electricity as a social, moral duty.
David Gant
Pastoral Assistant and Parish Administrator
The previous Parish Assistant role was comprised of three roles: administrative work, pastoral work and children’s work. This has now been split into two roles, Parish Administrator who does all the administration for the benefice and the Pastoral Assistant who covers the pastoral and children’s work. The current Administrator is Sian Hornby, who officially started in the role in September 2022. The Pastoral Assistant is Emma Bourne, who started in September 2023, taking over from Ben Davidson. They both divide their time between Fulbourn and The Wilbrahams.
Sian is responsible for all the administration for the parish and for the St Vigor’s Parish Choir and Fulbourn Community Choir. The role has also involved assisting with the running of Twelve and working with the volunteers there.
While in post Ben ran the St Vigor’s Sunday School three weeks per month, and he now continues to attend St Vigor’s to assist Emma and Ken with Sunday School once per month. In 2023 he planned and led a series of deanery confirmation classes with Alice, which were attended by
some of the older children/young people of St Vigor’s Church. Ben helped support occasional offices at the church, helped run the weekly Baby Dragons toddler group in Townley Hall, and regularly took up a slot on the rota for those leading worship at Home Close care home.
At St Nicholas’ Church, supported by volunteers who provide refreshments and music, Ben continued the running of Wednesday Church – a child friendly service with a snack, craft, Bible stories and songs – fortnightly. He also held a weekly benefice Bible study/discussion group for the parishes in Great Wilbraham. Beginning in October 2022, the group covered the Book of Revelation, the Letter to the Romans, and then enjoyed a series of sessions on the history of Christian art.
Emma co-ordinates the St Vigor's Sunday School and regularly runs sessions during the Sunday 11am Holy Communion. Due to the blessed increase of new choristers, the Sunday School now tends to split into Senior and Junior Sunday School on Choir Sundays, thereby providing ministry for between, on average, 5 and 15 children per week, between the ages of 2 and 16+. The age-divide is flexible but Junior Sunday School usually comprises children aged 2-8 years and Senior Sunday School is for children of upper primary and secondary age. Emma is ably assisted in this by Ken Poole and Ben Davidson, who also regularly lead sessions. In addition, Emma co-ordinates the lay ministry rota for St Vigor's, and this too has been blessed by an increase in the number of people discerning a call to read lessons and intercessions, act as sidespeople, and generally contribute to the life of St Vigor's. Emma also co-runs the Baby Dragons toddler group on Tuesdays, and leads Wednesday Church (for pre- and primary school aged children and their families) in Great Wilbraham every other Wednesday in school term-time. Emma also leads the Morning Office in church on Thursdays and the Iona worship on Wednesdays in Great Wilbraham. She
undertakes parish visiting and Home Communions where appropriate, to the housebound, frail and elderly. She leads and preaches at an Evensong at Home Close every month or so. Emma wrote and led a study group on the Beatitudes in October-November 2023 and is about to lead the Benefice Lent Group, starting in February 2024, looking at the Gospel of St John.
Emma Bourne, Ben Davidson, and Sian Hornby
Deanery Synod
Our Rural Dean, Canon Rev Eleanor Williams from Burwell, has recently accepted to carry on this role for the next three years. When the new Vicar for The Anglesey Group is in post later this year, we will have a full complement of clergy in the Deanery with no vacancies. Following the work on the Deanery Development Plan, we are now looking at how we can take this forward beyond 2025. One of the areas being looked at is Schools in the Deanery. Currently information is being gathered and then to see where we go from there. Also in the Diocese of Ely with Ridley House College in Cambridge are running an on line course for an Authorised Chaplaincy Assistant to work in church schools. Finally I am pleased to report that a Deanery Treasurer has now been appointed.
Steve Mashford
Bell Ringers
We have continued to ring as normal for Thursday practice and Sunday service and continue to benefit greatly from regular visitors from Linton. With the help of our visitors we have been able to progress both our own ringing and the progress of the visiting learners. We have benefited from being able to send bell-handling learners to St Clement's teaching tower in Cambridge and hope to be able to make further use of this to grow the local band over time.
