Retired clergy Candlemas lunch

Retired clergy sitting around tables enjoying lunch in the great hall at the Old Palace in WorcesterFifty retired clergy and clergy partners enjoyed a Candlemas lunch on Thursday 30 January in the Old Palace, Worcester.

Bishop Martin welcomed those attending and thanked them for their ministry - for all they have given and continue to give, recognising their very significant contribution to the life of the Diocese. 

Ann Waizeneker and Guy Hewlett, co-deans for retired clergy and partners, were delighted to see so many at the lunch and commented: “The Old Palace is a wonderful setting for this annual gathering, where old friendships are renewed and new ones made.  There was a lovely warm atmosphere and it is so good to get together with others at various stages of retirement.”

Diocesan Small Churches Choir

11th November 2025

At the celebration service for small churches service held in the Cathedral last May, a number of singers expressed a wish to be able to sing together more often. Mark and Linda Blackwell from Fladbury (Nr Evesham) felt called to use their experience to try to set up a choir made up from singers from the small churches across the Diocese to sing at occasional services at Worcester and other cathedrals.
