Formerly, the visitations were a court where all clergy and churchwardens were cited to attend. More recently the format has changed so they take the form of a service, the key part of which is the official admittance of churchwardens as office holder of the diocesan bishop. During the service, the archdeacon also delivers a sermon call the “archdeacon’s charge”, the aim of which is to offer advice, encouragement and support to parishes in general and churchwardens in particular. We are pleased to say that this year the Visitation will take place at our church – 6.45pm for registration: service at 7.30pm.
