All Saints' Church Brightlingsea

A glorious 13th Century Chuch on a hill - a beacon of light and welcome for the people of Brightlingsea.

[All Saints' Church Brightlingsea @AllSaintsAngels]

The lovely 13th Century church of All Saints', Brightlingsea & its caring, vibrant community. Bats, birds beetles & baptisms; weddings, weeding, worship & war graves; heritage, holy mowers, hopes & hard work; funerals, fun days, festivals, freemen & fundraising for improvements.

Beneath the scaffolding: How it stays on.
As we await the completion of works, we'll be posting some interesting perspectives on #AllSaintsBrightlingsea from the #restoration works funded by @HeritageFundUK. Here's what keeps the scaffolding in place without damaging the tower.

Doing a bit of #art during my leave, inspired by our beautiful lady chapel window in #AllSaintsBrightlingsea @AllSaintsAngels. Looking forward to the #ArtCompetition entries on display in Church starting tomorrow 9:00.

A beautiful breath of #Spring from #AllSaints' #Churchyard for you to enjoy. So many #flowers blooming across our 7.5 acres of ground & the birds & insects are enjoying the sunshine. Thanks to all of you who helped plant our #daffodils last Autumn. @HeritageFundUK

Beautiful #Easter #sunrise service, including the decorating of our #ForestChurch #cross, which then made the journey to @StJamesBsea for the 10:00 #AllAge Communion.
#Alleluia! Christ is risen!
He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

While the @HeritageFundUK grant takes care of the #tower repairs & new facilities, our #GoldenKey #volunteers can take care of bringing #Easter joy to families with a fantastic egg hunt, making the most of those beautiful 7.5 acres of #churchyard.

So... after all this time 'under wraps' for renovations thanks to @HeritageFundUK, what is everyone missing about #AllSaintsBrightlingsea & looking forward to enjoying again? For our Vicar @RevCBeckett, it's this window...
