PARISH OF LINCOLN- ST MARY LE WIGFORD with ST BENEDICT & ST MARK

Page 2

ANNUAL REPORT 2023

The Parochial Church Council of Lincoln, St Mary le Wigford with St Benedict and St Mark in the Diocese of Lincoln has the responsibility for the promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social, and ecumenical. The PCC also has the responsibility for the upkeep and maintenance of the Parish Church building which is Grade I listed and responsibility for St Benedict’s Church which is closed for worship and leased to Unicorn Tree Books (Melanie Carroll). It also has responsibility for the Church Hall attached to St Mary le Wigford Church.

Electoral Roll

The number on the Electoral Roll as reported at the 2023 APCM was 13. Of these none was a resident of the parish.

PCC Membership (from May 2023)

Mr. C. Woodcock (Churchwarden, ex-officio member. PCC Vice- Chairman). Miss J. Kirk (Churchwarden, ex-officio member & Deanery Synod Representative. PCC Treasurer). Mr. M. Garrett (PCC Secretary); Mrs. D. Garrett, Mr. M. Boltz, Mrs. C. Boltz, Mr. T. Chipawe, Mr. M. Brittan.

The six PCC Members are elected annually.

Church Life

Until March 15[th] the Incumbent of the Benefice was the Rev’d J. Cullimore who retired on March 15[th] , 2023. No services had been held in 2023 until after his retirement. At the Annual Meetings in May 2023 Churchwardens were properly elected and a PCC formerly reconstituted.

The PCC met on six occasions during the year with an attendance of 80%. Meetings were usually attended by the Rev’d Canon Paul Noble (Rural Dean & TTCT Partner) and Ms. M. Carroll who leases St Benedict’s Church.

Services re-commenced weekly on Wednesdays at 12.30pm and built up a regular worshipping community of about 18. The Churchwardens were able to reclaim the charity accounts attaining to the Parish of which the PCC Members are Trustees.

Reports on Safeguarding were received by the PCC at every Meeting. There had been one historic allegation that the Diocesan Safeguarding Team was examining. There were no new issues.

The Deanery Synod met four times during the year. Reports of the proceedings were presented to the PCC by Miss J. Kirk. Much of the Synod’s business continued to be taken up with the Diocesan Reorganisation plans “Time to Change Together.” The Synod approved in January a Deanery Plan that would link St Mary le Wigford and St Peter at Gowts with All Saints, Monks Road. The initial plan had included the formal closure of St Mary le Wigford Church. The PCC voted to overturn this decision and to opt instead for Category 4/Celebration Church Status.

Eventually while both St Peter at Gowts and All Saints felt a link between them would not be mutually beneficial, in October both St Mary le Wigford and All Saints PCC agreed unanimously on a Memorandum of Understanding and to pursue a formal link between the two parishes to go to the Archidiaconal Pastoral Committee. In November the PCC also voted to end the existing Plurality with St Peter at Gowts.

The Finances of the PCC were mainly concerned with expenses relating to necessary works to the church building. Fund raising came largely from Regular Craft fairs and refreshments served on Wednesdays and other special events but there were no other fund-raising special events.

During 2023 works were completed on the closed churchyard, undertaken by the City of Lincoln Council, which saw the re-greening of the west end of the churchyard by lifting the hard paving and grassing the area and reinstating/rebuilding a low churchyard boundary wall which had been removed decades previous. The new low wall has been rebuilt to the original style of the original lost wall.

The Church continued its support for the local Ukrainian Community. It was used by a few non-church organisations for various events throughout the year.
