On Sunday 28th June 2026, the parish suspension was lifted and the Reverend Laura Darrall was licensed as our Rector by the Bishop of Horsham, the patronage returned to the Duke and Duchess of Richmond and Gordon and the whole parish turned out to celebrate. It was a historic moment, filled with joy and promise - and a sign of confidence placed in the flourishing of St Mary with St Nicholas, Lavant and God at work in this beautiful place.
Below is a slideshow of some images from the day.
