Objectives and Activities
St Mary’s PCC has the responsibility of co-operating with the Priest in Charge, in promoting the whole mission of the church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical, for all who reside in the ecclesiastical parish and all who worship at St Mary’s. It also has responsibility for maintaining the fabric of the Church and the Church Rooms. The PCC is body corporate (PCC Powers Measure 1956, Church Representation Rules 2011) and Registered Charity Number 1171553. These objectives could not be achieved without the time and talents of many volunteers to whom the PCC extend their thanks.
Achievements and Activities (Including future plans)
Worship, Discipleship & Mission
It has been a big year of change for St. Mary’s with the global covid-19 pandemic forcing closure of the building between March and August, with restricted access and social distancing for the remainder of the year. The departure of our Revd Ian Webb and family and October also had an impact.
Throughout the pandemic we adapted swiftly to provide online worship via Facebook, YouTube and Zoom at different times, this proved to be a lifeline for many, but we are ever mindful of those who do not have the technology to join in.
The building reopened in August for private prayer sessions only and in September for public worship which was also live streamed.
We continue to be blessed by the ministry of our team of lay ministers and retired clergy for our regular services and other work. They have continued in their dedicated service to the churches on Sundays and midweek, whilst Greg Abbott has assumed a leadership role at St. Mary’s and St. John’s; and Pete Edwards is spearheading mission at Clipstone. We are very grateful indeed to the Revds. Clive Andrews, Richard Ford and Jackie Johnson and Readers Greg Abbott, Pete Edwards, Lorna Jagger and Neil Jackson.
We were sad that due to the pandemic many community services and events were not possible. The Good Friday activities, Christmas tree festival, School nativity events and concerts were all casualties however an online Memorial Service at All Souls was appreciated and well supported.
We said au revoir to several faithful worshippers during the course of the year including Sheila Sanderson and Bill Smith
A great deal of effort went into a community response to pandemic, ensuring that the church was fully involved in ensuring nobody went hungry or suffered unduly from the lockdown. Our mission was to stand beside the community in the time of need. This has gone some way to breaking down barriers between the church community and the rest of the village who wouldn’t say they belong to church.
The number of occasional offices has reduced this year with 9 baptisms (18 in 2019), 1 wedding (2 in 2019) and 7 funerals, (21 in 2019) plus 19 at cemetery or crematorium only. WE are thankful that the number of funerals was not greater as in some regions.
One of Revd Ian’s last services was a confirmation service which included 6 from Edwinstowe. The leaders of all our children’s and youth groups do a fantastic job of nurturing the young towards this commitment.
The Village Exchange shop closed during lockdown but was given a covid safe overhaul in the summer and re-opened with an influx of donations and a renewed focus. The long-standing Manager, Wendy Stirland, moved away in October and Lorna Hubbard was appointed. Lorna’s enthusiasm and commitment have already made a positive impact in many ways.
Our vital relationship with St. Mary’s C of E Primary School continues to be important. Our thanks go particularly to Miss Parkin who has coped admirably with the challenges presented by the pandemic in her first year as Headteacher. Hilary Cheshire has taken on the role of chair of governors. We continue to enjoy a good relationship with King
Edwin Primary School who we hope will resume their visits to church for special seasonal services when able in 2021.
The ‘hidden’ jobs are just as important and thanks to all who do them - all on the PCC and especially Richard Neely whose dedication as Church Warden is incredible; treasurer Hilary Cheshire (who despite many other roles continues to faithfully serve in this capacity) and our volunteer who acts as PCC secretary; This year we have particularly relied on the dedication and skills of Walter Daglish who has steered our online presence and the band of cleaners led by Jeanne McCullum who have ensured the cleaning regime has kept us covid safe.
Future plans
In 2021 our focus will be working with our sister parishes to appoint a parish priest to serve our three communities. Also, to successfully re introduce live worship while supporting those who feel unable to resume group activities via blended worship.
Other future plans include
-
Continuing to work with community groups to further support those in need.
-
Encouraging regular giving which enables our mission and ministry.
-
Supporting existing groups and encouraging leaders in them
-
We have formed an Eco group who have signed up to the Rocha Eco Churches initiative and will be working towards gaining official recognition.
-
Recruiting new members for the PCC
-
Our hope is that St Mary’s will continue steadily to change and develop to reflect and challenge the community, welcoming many more to believe and trust in Jesus Christ, crucified and risen.
Church Rooms
2020 began with high hopes for a busy and productive year. The Rooms were being used by community groups every day, we had plans for a kitchen refurbishment.
In February we said goodbye to two of our long-standing committee members who had decided to retire from their officer posts after 5 years: treasurer, Julia Fowler and booking officer, Wendy Stirland. We are extremely grateful to them both for their hard work.
By the end of March, the Coronavirus lockdown had hit the country which meant that the Church Rooms had to close to hirers and largely remained closed for the remainder of the year as even when able to do so (having carried out comprehensive covid risk assessments) many groups felt unable to resume their activity.
During lockdown, the committee used the time for maintenance and a major kitchen refurbishment. This was made possible by generous grants from Thoresby Estate, Cooperative Community fund and Dukeries Lions. Along with the hard work of volunteers, from the committee and from the community. The kitchen now looks modern and welcoming.
We are grateful to Walter Daglish who has overhauled our bookings procedures and created new online documentation for hirers. When Lorna Hubbard was appointed as the new Village Xchange manager, the role of church rooms booking officer was rolled into the job description.
We look forward to a time in 2021 when things may return to normal so that the community can make good use of the new kitchen facilities. Plans for 2021, funds permitting, include a new ramp at the backdoor, repairs to the potholes in the carpark and exterior painting of the woodwork.
Thank you to all the committee members for their hard work this yea.
Fabric
Just as with other aspects of church life our responsibilities for the upkeep and maintenance of our Grade 1 Listed church building have been affected by the impact of the pandemic but annual tasks have had to be done & not a few major projects brought to successful conclusion.
We are very pleased to report that both the new sound system & our upgraded gas central heating boiler system have been installed. With church communal services being suspended for long periods & our not being able to welcome tourists we had the best opportunity to do these projects. We particularly thank Barbara Read for her generous donation that enabled us to improve the sound system & everyone who contributed to the funding of the boiler & the accompanying asbestos works. We may expect many years services from both these.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission cleaned up the WW1 graves in our churchyard & a plaque recording their presence has been erected on an entrance gate for public information.
The church clock had been losing time & the chime stopped altogether. Thanks to funding from Cllrs John Peck & Jason Scott arrangements have been made for the clock to be repaired in 2021.
We thank Newark & Sherwood District Council for their continuing work in maintaining our churchyard. We note that attention will be given in 2021 to make some gravestones safe & to trim some of the bigger trees and to address issues with western boundary wall/hedging.
New Diocesan Rules for dealing with works in or about the Church were introduced in 2020 - the main aim being that all applications would have to be made online.
Unfortunately, owing to Covid regulations we lost a couple of concerts to be held in church & we were not able to participate in the annual Notts Historic Churches Trust Fund “Ride & Stride” event.
Future plans
We look forward to the erection of a new bench in memory of ‘The Fallen’ in the churchyard very kindly offered to Edwinstowe Village by Brian Hawkins.
Also, in conjunction with The Sherwood Forest Trust & with Miner2Major Project funding, we look to the planting of a ‘Maid Marion’ hawthorn tree. This is part of the project to unite parishes & residents throughout the Sherwood Forest area by planting 10 ‘heritage’ trees. The aim is to commemorate our local history & seek future aspirations. Robin & Marion were key figures of medieval & Tudor “May Games
Finance
2020 found us in unchartered waters, with the onset of the pandemic we found that many of our income streams dried up. On plate collection, tourist income, charity shop takings and church rooms lettings were all badly affected. We are immensely grateful to those who continued to support us via standing order and those in the community moved to raise funds on our behalf via online platform Just Giving and Thyngs.
Our unrestricted reserves are now dangerously low., indeed we needed and emergency loan from the Diocese in order to complete our boiler project due to unforeseen asbestos removal costs.
We know that 2021 has commenced with further lockdown so there is no easing of the financial situation on the short term. It continues to be a struggle to budget to ensure we are using our resources for the continued mission of the church and to maintain our fine grade 1 listed building. We are hopeful that the new boiler will significantly cut our heating costs., preliminary bills look very promising (but the church has been closed!) Despite our income falling, we have not been able to make savings in the same proportion although we are grateful for the support from the Government job retention scheme (furlough) and covid related grants from Newark & Sherwood District council along with Grants/Donations from Thoresby Charitable Trust, Sir John Eastwood foundation and Mrs Barbara Read (in memory of her husband Frank).
We are pleased once again to have paid our Parish share in full however we were unable to maintain our commitment to give away 10% of our income.
We have though also been saddened by the deaths of several of our stalwart congregation who have been faithful financial supporters for many years. 2021 presents its own financial challenges with the ongoing pandemic.
We continue to pray that we show wisdom in our stewardship of all gifts, everything we have belongs to God to be used for His glory. We would like to thank once again all organisations and individuals that give their financial support

Notes to Financial Statements
1 Policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 governing the individual accounts of the PCC, together with applicable accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities SORP (2015 FRSSE). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the valuation of investment assets, which are shown at market value.
Funds
General funds represent the funds of the PCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the PCC. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the PCC are also unrestricted. The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the PCC is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body or those that are informal gatherings of church members.
Incoming Resources - Voluntary Income and capital sources
Collections are recognised when received by or on behalf of the PCC. Planned giving receivable under Gift Aid is recognised only when received. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the donation is received. Grants and legacies to the PCC are accounted for as soon as the PCC is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the PCC is reasonably certain. Funds raised by fund raising events are accounted for gross. Sales of books and magazines are accounted for gross.
Income from Investments
Dividends are accounted for when due and payable. Interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year.
Gains and losses on Investments
Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at 31st December.
Resources Used
Grants
Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the PCC.
Activities directly relating to the work of the church
The diocesan parish share is accounted for in the period to which it relates. Any parish share unpaid at 31st December is provided for in these accounts as an operational (though not legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the Balance Sheet
Fixed Assets
Consecrated property and moveable church furnishings
Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by s.10(2)(a) and (c) of the Charities Act 2011
Moveable church furnishings are listed in the church's Inventory which can be inspected (at any reasonable time). They are capitalised at cost and depreciated in the accounts over their currently anticipated useful economic life (initially over 4 years) on a straight-line basis.
All expenditure incurred in the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings, individual items under £1,000 or on the repair of moveable church furnishings acquired before 1st January 2003 is written off. Heating System replacement 2020 not capitalised due to the nature of the project.
Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated on a straight line basis over 4 years except computer equipment which is over 3 years. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £1,000 or less are written off when the asset is acquired.
Investments
COIF Charity Fund Investments are valued at market value at 31st December. Cashed in November 2020
Current Assets
Amounts owing to the PCC at 31st December in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectible. Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit either with National Savings or National Westminster Bank. The PCC will periodically review where our investments are held to gain the best return.
Reserves
Unrestricted funds .
It is the policy of this church to keep at least three months running costs in reserve to cover unforeseen emergencies.
Designated funds are set aside for a particular purpose with an identified time frame. In view of the nature of the historic building the PCC will also aim to add £5k to designated reserves each year to cover work due at quinquennial inspections. In view of the potential need for a new boiler, the current reserves are not considered to be excessive.
Restricted funds are kept and only used for their intended purposes
The PCC understand their responsibility to ensure that the reserves are used to gain the maximum benefit for the parish as a whole in its pursuit of the whole mission of the church. This policy will be reviewed annually prior to the APCM.

Independent Examiner’s Report
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
Follow the 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 Independent Examiner’s Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission.
My examination included a review of the accounting records to ensure records are kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent examiners statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
1) Which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
a) To keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
b) To prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met; or
-
2) To which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
