Our Mentor, W.Bro Richard Heywood, picked one of the very few wet occasions this summer to present the magnificent sum of £440 at the National Memorial Arboretum this week.
The infamous pickled onions, he lovingly prepared, distributed, raffled and has sold by for many years, in 2021 raised the magnificent sum of £440, match funded by the Province. Repton is the cradle of Christianity in the Midlands. Christians have worshipped on this site since 653 AD, when Elfleda, the bride of Peada, son of King Penda of Mercia, introduced Christianity to his father's kingdom at Repton. Our founding Worshipful Master – George Muggliston – is buried here and our brethren annually lay a wreath at his grave. We have donated a sum of money to assist with grounds maintenance as the church has lost grants due to cutbacks.
