United Benefice of St.Mary, Higham Ferrers, and St. John, Chelveston
The Friends of St Mary's help look after our churchyard, and have been working their way through Ecological awards helping us become more eco-friendly, and diversify the nature that lives here alongside the peregrines. Recently they have been successful in obtaining a Gold award, and St Mary's has been named the Nature Conservation Churchyard of the Year by Northamptonshire Wildlife Trust - quite an honour! The award is in church, please come and have a look, we are in very good company. Well done Friends, and thank you.

Commemorating Edmund, King of East Anglia
Merciful God, who gave grace and fortitude to Edmund the king to die nobly for your Name: Bestow on us your servants the shield of faith, with which we can withstand the assaults of our ancient enemy; through Jesus Christ our Redeemer, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
