Edith Weston Church at Christmas

I thought I would share this photo I took at the weekend of Edith Weston Church in silhouette in the winter sun. The Church stands tall in the centre of Edith Weston and plays a large part in village life.

The Christmas period draws a larger than normal crowd to the Church, and I thought it would be appropriate to share details of the  services at the Church during December for those that wish to partake. Sunday 23rd December 2012 sees the Carol service take place at Edith Weston Church, starting at 6:30pm. There is no service on Christmas Eve  in Edith Weston (although the nearby Churches of Empingham have a Eucharist at 11:30pm and Manton have a crib service at 4pm). However, there is a Christmas Day service at 9:30am in Edith Weston Church.

Edith Weston is situated on the South shore of Rutland Water, and is the home to Rutland Water Sailing Club. Rutland Fishing Lodge and Normanton Church are also located on out outskirts of the village. The village of Edith Weston is also ideally situated if you are looking to explore the local area as Oakham, Stamford and Uppingham are all within 8 miles. If you are looking for accommodation in Edith Weston, then Puddle Cottage could be for you. The 4 star cottage is a self-catering cottage, and sleeps 2 people (in either a super king sized bed or two full sized single beds) and is just a short walk to the South shore of Rutland Water. For more details please contact Anna on 07734175291. We would love to welcome you to the cottage, and to the village of Edith Weston.
