Our annual Good Friday Pilgrimage around the churches in the Benefice takes place on 18 April. As in recent years, the walk will be in two parts: Keen walkers can start at Coberley at 9:00am to visit the churches in the Northern end of the Benefice. We will meet at Colesbourne church at 8:45am for travel to Coberley by car. This part of the walk will take in Coberley, Cowley, Elkstone and finish at Colesbourne. This will give us time to have some lunch and get to Rendcomb for the walk around the Southern end, starting at Rendcomb church at 1:00pm.
Approximate timings are as follows (these will depend on walkers' speed!)
Morning. Start at Coberley 9:00, Cowley 9:45, Elkstone 10:45, Colesbourne 12:00 (then travel by car to Rendcomb)
Afternoon. Start at Rendcomb 1:00pm, North Cerney 2:00, Bagendon 2:30, Baunton 3:30, finishing at Stratton at around 4:00 - 4:30pm.
As usual there will be a short meditation at each church. For more details please contact Mark Venn.
