The biggest change for many years to our Benefice is now taking place. From late November, Bruton will loose Batcombe, Lamyatt and Upton Noble, and will be reduced to six parishes: Brewham, Bruton, Pitcombe, Redlynch, Shepton Montague, Wyke Champflower (Redlynch and Wyke are not actually separate parishes but dependencies of Bruton). See Rectory Ruminations on page 3. We hope that the people of the three parishes that we are losing will continue to read The Dove, and news items and Diary dates relevant to them will still be most welcome.
