Ahead of the lighting of WIlton’s Jubilee Beacon, the following news item recalled HM the Queen’s visit to our Parish Church in 1953!

In addition to Community Celebrations in Wilton and Netherhampton there will be a special Thanksgiving Service at the Parish Church at 10.45am on Sunday 5 June.

We would love to see any members of our community at this “all-age” Celebration.

After the service there will be cakes and refreshments, and you are also welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy in the area around the church, joining with families across the country who will be taking part in the national Big Lunch.

Please do come and celebrate together!
