The
Last Century
20th CENTURY.

During the last century the whole of the nave roof has been re-tiled and the
Church has been redecorated throughout. In September, 1966, the newly furnished
Lady Chapel was re-dedicated, together with the fine new Oak Doors in the South
Porch and the new Lighting System which was installed by one of our
Parishioners. New Carpeting in the Sanctuary and the Nave was provided by the
untiring efforts of another faithful Parishioner. The lovely Processional Cross
was also dedicated just before Christmas in 1966 in memory of Miss Norah Mabey
for many years Churchwarden of the Parish.

Some of the interesting things to be found in the church
today, hanging from the walls and resting on the floors.
There are the beautiful kneelers made, I believe, in the
1990s; there is the magnificent wooden plaque made to commemorate the Twinning
of Newchurch with Villainville in 1991 by Mr Norman Jones of Alverstone Garden
Village and many others. Can anyone tell me anything about the other plaques etc
pictured here? What about the history of the bells, the ropes of which can be
seen are elegantly hanging?
