Doug Cady - Memorial Stone
‘Many will know that Chediston St. Mary’s Parochial Church Council (PCC), are currently seeking approval to install a memorial stone in the church which Doug Cady so loved. The PCC have to apply for formal approval from the Diocese, and this has been provisionally approved. However, as part of the process we must advertise our intentions publicly for 28 days before final approval can be given. Any objections can then be considered on their merit. The 28 days of public advertising began yesterday, 9th September. The advert is placed in the church porch and gives details of the planned memorial. If anybody has any objections, please make them known to either Edward Rennard, Team Rector, or the Churchwardens, Veronica Downing/Graeme Williams. Contact details are also on the notice board.
Assuming we obtain formal approval, the intention is to install the memorial close to where Doug sat in the choir stalls for so many years. The PCC then intend to hold a brief commissioning service in Doug’s honour, which we hope many who knew Doug would like to attend.
