St Aidan’s Church Thockrington celebrates 800 years of its relationship with York Minster on 9th June 2026, the Anniversary of the First Prebend of Tockerington, Laurence de St Nicholas,who was installed on 9 June 1226. On June 7th there will be a Service of Celebration at Thockrington at 3.00pm at which the current Tockerington Prebend Canon Tim Goode, 68th in line since the first Prebend, will preach. We will also dedicate a new Stained-Glass Window to commemorate that link, together with the immense contribution to Society of Lord Beveridge, who is buried there, and the legacy of the Patron Saint Aidan, and his ministry among the whole community of the Body of Christ. All are welcome to come to the service and to give thanks for this beautiful church and its witness over many generations.

I haven’t been able to do much or get the plant stall out yet but hope to soon but in the meantime I have a number of plants - Margaretes, Pulmonaria and Epimedium that are not potted yet so if you have a space needing filled then I can offer at bargain prices!!!!
