The Revd Ayoob Adwar has joined St Mary the Virgin Church, Mortlake High Street as Team Vicar. His Licensing Service will take place on Wednesday, 26 March 2025 at 7.30pm. It will be a Sung Eucharist. The president will be the Bishop of Southwark. Everyone is welcome.
Given its history the Church is a most suitable setting for an historic event. The present churchyard and church were given to the parish by King Henry VIII in 1543. From the original church only the distinctive tower remains. There is a 15th century font from a previous nearby church.
Great days in the future of Mortlake.
Sixty or so people walked the Time Trek Trail on Friday afternoon, listening to David Deaton and Helen Deaton talking about the history of Mortlake.
On Saturday over 200 local residents attended the event. There will be a full report from the organisers on discussions and solutions proposed in the next few weeks, but we report on some of the scenes and ideas. Obviously whatever development eventually goes ahead on the Stag Brewery site, it will not happen in the near future. Mortlake cannot wait for improvement, development of local civic pride and a heart for the area.
Damian Keogh (Co-Founder of the Story Collective, whose film studios are working on the site, speaking), Francine Bates (Chair Mortlake Community Association) and Charles Campion (JTP Community Planning Team) welcome participants to the Mash-Up.

EastSheenMatters met with Barnes Community Gardeners at Chertsey Court this week, flats with 166 units and over 300 residents.
As can be seen from the photos, working under the auspices of Barnes Common Ltd and assisting Richmond Housing Partnership, they keep the substantial green space looking tidy and full of flowers.
The main objective is to bring people together through gardening and improve the gardens around their homes. Barnes Community Gardeners also visit two local primary schools weekly, growing veg with the children.
The group is always looking for volunteers and plants.

Ukraine – TacMed Kits.
We are all concerned about the fate of Ukraine and a feeling of looking on helplessly, but they are urgently asking for TacMed supplies. These are first aids kits that each combatant carries including tourniquets and rapid gauze that stops severe arterial bleeding. Alastair Grant has a Just Giving page should you wish to help.
