We're delighted the 4,000 year old Yew Tree at St George's Church Crowhurst came second in The Woodland Trust's 'Tree of the Year 2026' competition. In our film Revd Sue Bosley shares some of the history of the tree, which survived a direct hit from a cannon in the English Civil War. As Christians, we celebrate God's amazing creation and take seriously our calling to be stewards and carers of the wonders of God's earth. @woodlandtrust @thechurchofengland

When long-standing parishioner Elizabeth Worth left a generous gift to @stmargaretsputney in her will, she transformed her church. Because of her gift, St Margaret's was able to build The Worth Parish Centre - a community space that serves children, families, community groups and worshippers. Her legacy is a powerful reminder of how impactful a gift in a will can be.
