COVER IMAGE
The image comes from a 17th century Ethiopian manuscript called The Miracles of
the Archangel Michael. In the image, Michael can be seen rescuing seafarers. His
feast day, Michaelmas, is 29th September. Legends about Michael often display
him as a warrior, fully armed with helmet, sword and shield. The image was painted
using pigments and ink on parchment by Zämänfäs Qeddus, a scribe during the
Gondarine period of Ethiopian art (1632-1769).

                         greets those entering EH with their vehicle’s speed.

                         The police presence at the School was a reminder to
                         all who park in School Road of the dangers of
                         parking on pavements and in the school drop-off
                         zone. As well as posing a danger to children and
                         parents, access by emergency vehicles is impeded.

                         There are vacancies for parish councillors - please
                         contact Peter Jinman (07831 484065) if interested.
