And now to concentrate on more local stuff.  Lori Squirrell, who lives just inside the ward, was awarded the Benemerenti medal for decades of service to St. Pancras church.

The Benemerenti medal is awarded by the Pope for long and faithful service to the Catholic church.  The word means well deserving person. Well done Lori.

Another Photograph of Bridge, this one is particularly dear to me as it is around the corner from where I live.

Simon Knott (who does the excellent Suffolk Churches website) has also transcribed the plaques.

There is one correction, later on Simon says that he thinks that the pentecostalist church next door used to be St. Peter’s parish rooms, but I was told by Father Leeder at St. Pancras that this was actually an outstation of St. Pancras’s when St Pancras covered most of Bridge Ward.  It may have been both at different times.
