As the days of December proceeded, Main Street looked more festive than ever before. LED lights, LED poles, Santa’s and snow men on Main Street, a vey smart colourful set of lights on the tree on the village green and at the top of the village a splendid triangle set of LEDS twinkling around a pole in a tree like design topped with a giant star.

December lockdown placed Chelmorton in tier three, but the church of St John the Baptist remains open for Christmas Morning.

There will be a Christmas Day Family Service at ten AM. ‘Come and give thanks for the hope that Christmas brings.’ A spoken communion will follow. ‘Please wear a face mask at all times’ ‘Sit in the pews with the angels.’
