Matthias, St Mark and Holy Trinity, Ilsham, Torquay, Devon
in the Anglican Diocese of Exeter
St
Matthias’ 150th Anniversary
In March’s magazine, The Rector promised a fuller list of the 150th Anniversary events, but before thy are
listed, here is something you may be able to play a part in.
Every Tuesday, the Herald Express
run a local history pull-out called Bygones. The Editor, Nick Pannell is
keen to help us celebrate our Anniversary by devoting an edition to St
Matthias’ over the years. While we have some photographs in our archives, it
would be wonderful if present and former church members had any photos that
could be used for that edition.
They could be either photos of the
development of the building, church events or church members, from 1858
onwards! Please put your name on the reverse of the photos, so they can be
returned to you, and the names of as many people as you know, who appear in the
photo, leave them in the office, and the Editor will compile a Bygones
edition from what is submitted to him.
