A Service of Animal Welfare: Sunday 10 October

Today we welcomed members of the Anglican Society for the Welfare of Animals for their annual service on the theme of 'Animals at War'.

Guiding Centenary 2010

This year the Guide movement celebrates its centenary. Just a dozen or so years after the foundation Walter Starmer (in 1921) painted a Girl Guide on the ceiling of the Lady Chapel at St Jude's.

To the left in the 'eminent women' scheme there is also a Brownie holding what appears to be a skipping rope.

The first Brownie group was organised in 1914.
