Whilst Freddie Lawson has handed over the maintenance of the churchyard to the Friends of Coverham Church, it is pertinant to reflect that his tenure has stretched since 1952. Freddie’s family, both Lawson and Dawson, are buried at Coverham and it is lovely to see him when he visits, very often on Fridays on his way back from the auction mart at Leyburn. We are so grateful for all he and his friends have done over the years, including Charles Utley, Wally and Kenny Bell, David Brown, Jim Pearson, John Howard and Howard Thomas.
As with decades gone by, we would love to hear from anybody who could physically help us for the Autumn maintenance and also for specific event preparation. Please do get in touch via enquiries@coverhamchurch.com.
A short film and photographs from the production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which took place in early September, are now on our Events page or alternatively watch below. This was an energetic production of many parts charismatically portrayed by the youthful This is My Theatre performers.
We very much look forward to welcoming the renowned Jervaulx Singers for a concert of choral anthems for Advent on Saturday 30th November, at Coverham. Doors open at 7pm for mulled wine and seasonal treats. They comprise some of the country’s finest professional voices, all passionate about giving expressive, beautiful performances.
