Children from the Jack and Jill School visited St. James's recently. These are some extracts from their letters of thanks, together with their own illustrations.

Thank you for showing us around the church. You explained it very well. Emily R
I especially liked the stained glass. My favourite was the Sower. Isabelle
I liked the picture of St. James on the wall. It was amazing. Felicity-Louise
The shell looked nice on the vicarage. Rishika

I liked it when we looked for the smallest window that had a lark on it. The organ sounded fantastic. Emily
I loved the visit to the church. It was beautiful. Have fun in the future. Freya E

On the way there we looked out for drain covers. Harriet
I thought the church was really pretty and I will remember that the church is a living building. Olivia
I particularly liked the golden eagle for resting the bible on. I also liked the wine symbol with the grapes and the glass of wine. Freya
I wasn't christened when I was little, neither was my mum, but I have seen someone being christened. She didn't scream. Sophie
