News from Bodham All Saints Church
Congratulations to Becky and Tyrone on their marriage on Friday 29th August.
Despite the heavy rain, it was a lovely occasion.
The church looked wonderful with beautiful flower arrangements.
Church Open Day
The weather was fine on the Saturday 30th August for our Church Open Day. It was
well attended and visitors enjoyed looking at the exhibitions of photos from
Bodham and the Church in the past and the beautiful textiles. There was interest
in the wildlife display outside where owl pellets were dissected and examined.
The refreshments were well received particularly the wonderful cakes.
The sausage rolls were pretty special too. [Editors note]
A big thank you to everyone who helped to make it happen
and to all who supported the event. Well done to Fiona Ward and Moya Myerscough
for their efforts in organising this event. [Editors note]

Norfolk Churches Trust Sponsored Cycle Ride |
Callum & Kathryn are taking part once again in the Norfolk Churches Trust
Sponsored Cycle Ride which this year takes place on Saturday 13th September
2025.
The challenge is simple: visit as many churches as possible between 9am and 5pm
— all while raising funds to protect Norfolk’s historic places of worship. Last
year, Callum and Kathryn cycled to an impressive 50 churches, raising nearly
£1,000 for the Norfolk Churches Trust and their nominated church of St Helen's &
All Saints in Beckham.
This year, they are riding in support of All Saints Church, Bodham — the oldest
building in our village and a vital part of the local community.
Maintaining such a historic site requires constant effort and funding,
particularly when it comes to urgent repairs and long-term preservation.
Half of the money raised will go directly to Bodham Church, with the other half
supporting the Norfolk Churches Trust’s vital work across the county.
