Welcome To Great Dalby Church

On Sunday 14th April we held a retirement service/party in Pickwell Church to say thank you to our Oranist Julie Bell.

Julie was celebrating 50 years of organ playing and it was a fantastic event which we all enjoyed very much. Thanks to Pickwell Church & Rev Jane Walker. Julie received gifts from each of the five parishes in the Benefice.

The spire fell down in 1658.........................

Introducing the Rev’d Jane Walker

Back in February 2020, Rev’d Jane Walker and her husband Bill moved from Nottingham to The Rectory in Somerby, and there was a splendid service of Welcome and Licensing for Jane as Associate Priest in the Burrough Hill Benefice. Unfortunately, this was swiftly followed by the lockdown, affecting so many aspects of all our lives. Nevertheless, Jane has been beginning her ministry and settling into her new home in Somerby, and looks forward to more actively getting to know the village communities as opportunities arise. Jane is working for the church in the five parishes of Burrough on the Hill, Great Dalby, Little Dalby, Pickwell w. Leesthorpe, and Somerby. Her role is part-time, and will focus primarily on providing spiritual care, support and encouragement, strengthening the valuable links which exist between the churches and village life.

If anyone would like to be in touch with Jane about any personal or community matters then she can be contacted as follows:
