Brampton Abbotts Church is used just six times a year for services. Monday evening was one of them when the carol service took place.
The local choir, Bramptones, sang Gaudete and that went down a storm. They also sang a few carols at The Green, and a young boy heard ‘Away in a manger’ with 3 part harmony, possibly for the first time sung live. He pronounced it “Awesome!” And asked for an encore.
The service was observed by four wooden angels, behind the altar, which were removed several years ago for building work to be done; they reappeared miraculously on Sunday – no one quite knows how. Perhaps it’s a Christmas miracle. Any ideas?
