The Berkeley Sideboard

This wonderful dresser/sideboard has been donated to St Andrew’s by Martin Berkeley of Shepton Mallet.

Initially, it was presented by the parishioners of Halberton, to the Revd. Sackville Hamilton Berkeley in 1864 in grateful thanks for his care and ministry on his departure from the Parish and has remained within the Berkeley family ever since. Its design includes features which matches elements of our Rood Screen. It is a stunning piece of furniture which fits beautifully under our north-west window and has made our children’s area feel really complete. We are delighted that it has come ‘home’! We also have copies of newspaper cuttings from the time of the original presentation.

A team of volunteers went into Halberton School to help make Christingles in December. The service in church was enjoyed by the whole school.

THE SORCEROR

In July 2002 pupils from Kent College put on a performance of Gilbert and Sullivan's 'The Sorceror', with proceeds going to St Andrew's. It was a truly memorable evening, with excellent performances by the young people.

The church is set in the heart of the village, next to the Village School.

The pre-recorded Communion Service on Advent Sunday 2020 came from Halberton.
