What's On


We shall remember them
St Edmund's choir and Senior Chaplain were invited to take part in a service of thanksgiving at Sylling Church for 80 years of peace in Norway since the end of World War II. The service also commemorated the British and Commonwealth airmen who lost their lives on 9th April 1940, the first day of the wartime occupation in Norway, when their Sunderland flying boat was shot down over the nearby forest.
