SAINT ANDREW’S PARISH CHURCH CRANWELL

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE 2016 APCM

Year ending 31st December 2015

Background

St Andrew’s Parish Church is a Grade One Listed Building (Listing Number 1254166)

situated adjacent to the Village Green in the centre of the village of Cranwell. The church is

part of the North Lafford benefice in the Deanery of Lafford in the Diocese of Lincoln in the

Church of England. A churchyard open for burials surrounds the church. The postcode for

the church is NG34 8DD and the Grid Reference is TF 032499 GB Grid.

All correspondence should be addressed to the Honorary Secretary, Mrs Mary O’Connor, 24

Willow Lane, Cranwell, Sleaford, NG34 8DQ.

Structure, Governance and Management

The Parochial Church Council (PCC) is a charity exempted from registration with the Charity

Commission and, in cooperation with the Rector, the Reverend Christine Pennock, its

purpose is the promotion within the ecclesiastical parish of the whole mission of the church,

pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church Representation Rules.

In summary:

Parishioners on the Local Electoral Roll elect the Churchwardens at the annual Vestry

Meeting.

The Churchwardens and Deanery Synod representatives (if not also churchwardens) are

ex-officio members of the PCC.

Members of the church who are listed on the Church Electoral Roll elect the other

members of the PCC at the annual Parochial Meeting.

All Churchgoers are encouraged to register on the Church Electoral Roll and stand for

election to the PCC.

During the year 2015 the members of the PCC were:

Rector Rev C Pennock 2, All Saints Close Ruskington NG 34 9FP Chair

Objectives and Activities

As the parish church of Cranwell, St Andrew’s is committed to enabling as many people as

possible to worship at the parish church and to become part of the church community. When

planning activities for the year the PCC takes into account the Charity Commission’s


guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the

advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith

as part of our parish community through:

Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and

trust in Jesus.

Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish, promoting Christian values

and service by members of the Church in the parish and to all residents of the parish

to the benefit of individuals and society as a whole.

Supporting education and pastoral care throughout the parish but particularly in

Cranwell Foundation Primary School for the benefit of all those who attend the

school.

Missionary and outreach work.

To facilitate this work it is important that the PCC maintains the fabric of the church. In

accordance with the law as set out in the Care of Churches and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction

Measure 1991 the Churchwardens issue annually a detailed report on the condition of the

fabric. A copy of the Fabric Report is attached.

Summary

In 2013 and 2014 the average number attending public worship on Sunday fell, but thankfully

the decline seems to have halted as the numbers in 2015 remain the same as in 2014 at about

18 adults and 0.5 children. “Special” services such as Commemoration of the Faithful

Departed, Harvest Thanksgiving, Christingle, Lessons and Carols, remain popular with those

who attend church irregularly. The Christmas period attendance was particularly

encouraging with the combined total for Christingle, Carols and Lessons, Carols in the Hall,

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day being 227. The weekly Drop-in for young people and the

program of summer activities continue to be well supported.

The Electoral Roll fell from 55 to 49. The fall reflects four deaths and two members of the

congregation have moved to another place of worship.

The financial status of the PCC remains marginal but the PCC was able to meet the full 2015

Parish Share (Quota) of £11,432. The Parish Share was paid regularly throughout 2015 with

the final payment being made in November.

The Parish Share formula used by the diocese has been revised and although the amount

requested for next year 2016 is an increase to £11,596, Cranwell should see a reduction in the

amount requested over the following three years.

The PCC received a grant from the Evan Cornish Grassroots Fund towards the costs of the

Drop-in for young people and the summer activities programme for children of all ages.

There was an unusually high number of funerals in 2015 and this resulted in a significant

increase in fee income. In 2014 fee income was £1,880 whilst in 2015 it was £5,825. The

Fabric Fund benefited from a legacy of £3000 from the estate of the late Gwen Dennis.


Review of the Year

2015 was a year of consolidation for the relatively newly formed benefice of North Lafford

that came into effect on 8th

February 2013. The benefice was formed from the parishes of

Cranwell, Leasingham, Evedon, Anwick and Ruskington. The parishes came together not

through choice, but as a result of financial necessity when priestly ministry was at a premium.

The Rector has advised the PCCs within the benefice of her intention to retire in 2018. Given

the improvement in diocesan finances and the Bishop’s plan to increase the number of

parochial clergy serving the diocese by 50, it is likely that the North Lafford Group will see a

further reorganisation timed to coincide with the current Rector’s retirement. This

reorganisation hopefully would aim to reduce the work load on her successor and provide an

increase in ordained pastoral care within the parishes.

The PCC plays a full part in the church’s wider mission through its representatives on

Deanery and Diocesan Synods.

Our Rector, the Reverend Christine Pennock is also Rural Dean and a member of the

Diocesan Board of Education. Her contribution to the life of the church was recognised on

17th

November, Saint Hugh’s Day, when she was formally elected and installed as a Canon of

the Cathedral. The benefice was well represented at the cathedral service including a large

contingent from the Cranwell congregation who subsequently enjoyed a parish supper in a

Lincoln hostelry.

Our Reader, Naomi Smith, has been assisting

with the training of new readers, and together

with a reader from another benefice, she

embroidered an altar frontal used for the first

time in the cathedral for the Readers

Relicensing Service on 10th

October 2015.

The frontal depicts the symbols of ministry

offered by readers and is shown displayed on

the altar at Cranwell.

Our churchwarden, Trevor Bush has been a

trustee of the Lincoln Diocesan Trust and

Board of Finance for 13 years, first as deputy

chair and then as chair. He is also a member of

Bishop’s Council. However, he decided that at

age 75 it was time to pass the responsibility for

what is in effect a £200million company to a younger person, and after due notice, resigned

both as a Bishop’s Councillor and Chair of the Board in November.

In 2014 the five parishes took part in a pilot scheme to test the diocesan Discipleship

Development Programme. The benefice’s experience of the scheme was most unsatisfactory

and as a consequence the Parish of Cranwell took little part in the main scheme when it was

rolled out in 2015. However, diocesan staff came to Cranwell to record a video of the

Wednesday night Youth Drop-in as an example to other parishes of a form of discipleship.

In addition to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting on 22nd

March2015, the PCC held four

ordinary meetings during the year and three extra-ordinary meetings. The extra-ordinary

meetings all related to various faculty applications. There were two benefice meetings.

Reader Naomi Smith with the Readers’ Frontal


The PCC remained determined to maintain a weekly pattern of worship, but recognised that it

was often not possible for an ordained priest from the benefice to be available to lead

services. During 2015 the established pattern of Sunday services of alternating Holy

Communion and Morning Prayer was continued with Morning Prayer led by either a reader

or a churchwarden. The use of the service of Communion by Extension conducted by the

Reader, Naomi Smith, has again proved vital to the pattern of worship in 2015, particularly

for the well supported mid-week communion services. The PCC is concerned for the future

as the current Bishop of Lincoln has indicated that he will not renew anywhere across the

diocese the permissions given by the previous Bishop that allowed Readers to officiate at

Communion by Extension services. Reader Naomi Smith’s licence is due to expire in

January 2016. It is likely that the Reverend Georgina Machell, an Associate Priest, will

conduct future Thursday services but this will add to her workload as she is currently

supporting the Digby benefice through its long vacancy.

The monthly “We are Family” service

held on the second Saturday of the

month at 4pm has a small but loyal

following.

Attendance at the various Christmas

services was good and the overall

figures are shown in Table 1 below.

This year, the new owners of the village

post office and shop organised and

sponsored an open air carol event led

by a contingent from the Cranwell

Military Wives Choir. The hot punch

was particularly appreciated! The PCC

have offered to help organise a similar

event next year if Mr and Mrs Bett wish

to repeat their sponsorship. This additional “secular” event did not have an appreciable

impact on the numbers attending church services. The Crib service introduced in 2014 was

repeated in 2015 and again attracted a good congregation of 32. The PCC were fortunate to

obtain the services of a retired priest living in Lincoln to preside over the 2015 Christmas Eve

communion service so that a celebration of Communion could take place on both Christmas

Eve and Christmas Morning.

“We are Family”


Attendance at the fortnightly bible study group and service of Compline that provided a

weekly opportunity to meet on Thursday evenings has declined, and the PCC reluctantly

decided that they should be discontinued.

2015 was again a very busy year in terms of outreach and fund raising events.

The Bishop of Lincoln had been invited to

lead a combined benefice service at

Ruskington on 31st May, but at the last minute

had to cancel to be with a parish whose

incumbent had unexpectedly died that

weekend. The Bishop was able to return for a

Ruskington parish service later in the year.

At Cranwell, the Bishop of Grimsby kindly

attended the Harvest Festival Service and,

accompanied by his family also attended the

harvest lunch. He also “inspected” some of

the equipment provided for the youngsters

who come to the weekly Drop-in....a picture

for the Church Times caption competition

perhaps?

The annual fete was held in the Village Hall and adjoining Memorial Garden on 11th

July.

The fete was again successful both financially and as a happy occasion for parishioners.

Unfortunately, the school choir could not attend as they were “double booked” and this did

have an impact on the funds raised. However, more than £800 was raised for church funds.

The Salvation Army led the annual open air Hymns of Praise on the Village Green on 2nd

August. Some 50 people (and a parrot and several dogs) attended and sang well. The

Cranwell Military Wives’ Choir gave a concert in the Village Hall on 25th

September. There

was a near capacity audience who were most appreciative of the concert.

The monthly Coffee Mornings held in the Village Hall are very popular. The Coffee

Mornings raise money not only for the church but also for a variety of charities.

Following the success of last year’s pre-Christmas lunch at Woody’s, Ancaster, the PCC

repeated the outing in 2015. It was again highly successful and was well supported by 30

parishioners. Each parishioner paid for his or her own meal at an attractive rate negotiated

with the owners of Woody’s. A coach was provided to

transport the party to and from Cranwell and the cost of the

coach was covered by an anonymous donation for which the

PCC is most grateful.

Contact with the Romper Room Nursery children has

continued and the pre-school children attended church for

their own special services for Harvest and the Nativity.

During the year, the PCC was approached by Jonathon

Radley, who until recently had lived in the village, for help

with his university degree dissertation. His research related

to being a “Yellow Belly” and the PCC was pleased to offer

the use of the church for Jonathon’s focus groups and to

suggest those who might be persuaded to take part. All

Bush after the Harvest Festival

went well, and Jonathon was most grateful for the PCC’s participation.

Although not a church school, our links with Cranwell Primary School remain strong and we

continue to support the governing body. The PCC has continued to tell Bible stories using the

“Open the Book” programme at one assembly per month. Each assembly has an audience of

more than 300 children. The school particularly welcomes this practical help. Other local

parishes have sent representatives to see the “Open the Book” programme in action and it is

hoped that they will also use this method of improving children’s knowledge of the Bible.

The school participated in the Harvest Festival and provided an exhibition of their work that

was displayed around the font. The children also collected food to add to the church’s

contribution to the Centre Point Outreach charity for the homeless at Boston.

A churchwarden visited school to talk about the First and Second World Wars and a special

service was held on Armistice Day for the senior children during which a wreath was laid and

Remembrance Crosses were placed on each of the War Graves. Many of the children’s

fathers are serving in areas of conflict. On Remembrance Sunday the Beavers, Cubs and

Scouts joined the regular congregation and also laid a wreath.

During the school summer holidays the

PCC organised activities for children of all

ages and was pleased to note that the

number of children taking advantage of the

activities remained high. The outing (and as

a consequence of the grant from the Evan

Cornish Grassroots Fund) was to Skegness.

Spare seats on the large coach were offered

at a nominal charge to pensioners from the

Village and this again proved a most

successful way of promoting community

cohesion between the teenagers and the

elderly. On average, some 50 to 60

children attended each weekly event.

The weekly youth drop-in at church that commenced in November 2006 continues to attract

youngsters. The original drop-in format has continued: there are no organised activities, the

teenagers come and go as they please, listen to music, play pool, are provided with free

refreshments, and are discreetly supervised. The grant of £500 towards the running costs

approved by the Evan Cornish Grassroots Fund

was greatly appreciated. The weekly

attendance declined sharply in December;

possibly as a result of heavy school homework

commitments for the older teenagers coupled

with very wet and dark evenings discouraging

the younger members. Therefore, it was

decided to close the Drop in until the spring of

2016.

The PCC continued its support of the Tear Fund

and Embrace the Middle East throughout 2015.

Financial Review

Total receipts of ordinary unrestricted funds were £25,044 of which £500 was a one-off grant

in support of youth work. Total receipts for the Fabric Fund (which is a designated restricted

fund) were £5874 of which £1594 was VAT recovered through the Listed Places of Worship

Grant Scheme and £1230 was a contribution to chancel roof repairs from the impropriator

(lay rector). The planned giving through envelopes and bankers’ orders fell from £5,541 in

2014 to £4,929 in 2015, but the Gift Aid tax benefit (particularly that arising from the scheme

that lets us reclaim income tax on the loose plate collections) continues to play an important

role in boosting the PCC finances, amounting to £2,596 in 2015. Income derived from fund

raising events amounted to £3,826 after taking account of fund raising costs, (£6,473-

£2,647).

However, the fees received from funerals were unusually high at more than £5000, sadly

reflecting the larger than average number of deaths in the village. The PCC is grateful to

those who act as vergers and to the organist all of whom remit their element of the fee back to

the PCC’s funds.

The RAF Chapel of St Michael is deemed a Chapel at Ease and we remain grateful for its

generosity in remitting to us any statutory fees arising from weddings held at RAF Cranwell.

The decline in the number of weddings held at RAF Cranwell noted in last year’s report has

continued and there was only one wedding in 2015.

At the end of the year the General Fund had risen by £1981, largely resulting from the

increase in fee income.

Reserves Policy

The PCC strives to maintain a balance of £3000 on unrestricted and unreserved funds at year-

end to smooth out fluctuations in cash flow and to meet emergencies. The end of year

balance on unrestricted and unreserved funds was substantially in excess of £3000 at

£11,695. The restricted funds were: Organ Fund £116 and Fabric Fund £5948.

The current accounts are held with Lloyds Bank Sleaford.

Some of the Drop-in Gang


Volunteers

And finally, the PCC would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to help the

church achieve its mission in this community, but especially two who achieved very

significant anniversaries this year. Margaret Moody our organist and her husband Jack

celebrated their Diamond Wedding Anniversary, and churchwarden Lynn Smith and her

husband Derek celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary during the year.

Approved by the PCC on 14th

February and signed on their behalf by Trevor Bush, PCC Lay

Chairman.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S CERTIFICATE I report on the accounts of The Parochial Church Council for Parish Church of Saint Andrew Cranwell

for the year ended 31st December 2015

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an

audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an

independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility as examiner to:

• examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission

under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission.

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the

accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the

accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures

undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is

given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in

the statement below.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (other than that disclosed below)

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements have not

been met:

• to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the

accounting requirements of the 2011 Charities Act

or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
