Our very own Janet Kerridge was awarded a British Empire Medal for services to her community. Janet has worked through St. Mary The Virgin Church since she was a child and had, until this year, been Church Secretary since 1973,
She said: “I was very surprised and have been congratulated by my friends. Twelve people wrote letters to help recommend me for this award and that was the most surprising thing. I am most proud of organising the children’s praise and Christmas praise.”
