St Paul’s Church giveaway will take some topping…

Between 12 noon and 2 pm, members of the congregation at St Paul’s Church in New Street expect to make and toss more than 700 pancakes to celebrate Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent starts.

Like Christians everywhere, from the following day – Ash Wednesday – they will begin a period of abstinence that will not end until Easter Sunday.

St Paul’s assistant minister Nick Ferraby says this is the fourth year that they have made and given away pancakes to shoppers and people who work in town.
