Many people in the village will remember Joyce and Arthur Ellery. Arthur was Vicar of St Paul�s from 1986-1993 before retiring to Orton Waterville, near Peterborough. Sadly, news has come from there that Maggie, their younger adopted daughter died at the beginning of August. She had suffered long-term health problems associated with her diabetes.

Maggie lived just a few miles from Joyce and Arthur, who saw her frequently and helped with the upbringing of her daughter, Anne-Marie. Anne-Marie has developed excellent musical skills with Joyce�s help and currently works in the Peterborough Diocesan Offices. Maggie�s funeral took place on August 13 and our thoughts will be with Joyce, Arthur and their family at this time.
