Choral/Sung Evensong
It was a pleasure to see 20 come and be part of our Choral Evensong on Sunday 8th June.  It was a beautiful service with some lovely music from our Choir.  If you haven't had a chance to attend our Evensong service we encourage you to come.  It's a lovely service to reflect in prayer and sing or listen to the music.  Our next Choral Evensong will be on Sunday 22nd June will take place at Christ Church in Fairwarp at 4.00pm where our Choir from Holy Cross will lead the service to help celebrate Christ Church's patronal festival.

170 Years of Holy Cross School
Holy Cross Church of England School, Uckfield, closed at the end of the Christmas term in 2023, having served the children in the town for c. 170 years.  To commemorate this event, Bridge Cottage and a group of former staff, parents and governors at the school put together an exhibition in early 2024 showing the life of the school. Following on from the exhibition, a new Booklet has been produced to Celebrate those 170 Years.  This was launched at the Holy Cross Spring Festival in May 2025 and can now be purchased for £3 from the Uckfield Heritage Charity Shop or from Bridge Cottage.
