Merry Christmas to everyone who supports us and to those who gave their time and effort in making the 400th Anniversary year so special. Most importantly, thank you to our Founder, the late Archbishop George Abbot for his legacy to the people of #Guildford. Thank you George.
Talented pupils from @gabbot_news and @WVCSecondary worked with Liliana Montoya & Carlos España of #AlunaCeramics to create our 400th Anniversary tiles; a lovely way to honour our founder the late #ArchbishopGeorgeAbbot. The tiled panels will be displayed in Guildford in 2020.
Ex Governor Keith Childs unveiled 2 of 4 colourful Legacy tiled panels in front of residents and guests to mark our 400th anniversary year. Liliana Montoya and Carlos España of #AlunaCeramics designed the panels with the assistance of a grant from the @HeritageFundUK.
Don’t spend Christmas day alone. The Gaskins are cooking Christmas lunch at St. Joseph's Church Hall, 12 Eastgate Gardens #Guildford. Arrive 13:00 for 13:30. FREE but booking is essential. Contact Marta Gaskin: 07855 846957 [email protected]
