The day began with a ‘Songs of Praise’ service at 10.30am, featuring favourite hymns chosen by members of the congregation.
From noon, there was a classic car show in the church grounds which featured a variety of classic and vintage vehicles on display.
At 1pm, a local choir called Cadenza performed familiar musical favourites in the church.
The celebrations finished with a special service of Choral Evensong sung by St John’s Choir.
Throughout the event, refreshments such as hot sandwiches and cakes were available.
There was also an outside bar serving Pimm’s and Rooster’s beer throughout the day.
