Rev’d Poppy Hughes
A Message From Rev’d Pauline Setterfield:
Poppy Hughes will be leaving the Tetbury Benefice next month and the Churchwardens are organising a collection for a leaving present for her.
The following is a message from Mike Hardwick, Treasurer of Tetbury Church:
The easiest way for people to contribute would be by bank transfer. The details are
Account name: Tetbury PCC
Bank: Lloyds Bank
Sort Code: 30-92-06
Account number: 01504825
Reference: Poppy
It helps if people use the reference “Poppy” as I then know for certain the receipt relates to Poppy’s leaving gift.
If people want to pay by cheque, the cheque should be made payable to Tetbury PCC. Cheques or cash could be given to me (Mike Hardwick), Sue Thomas, or Diana in the Church Office.

Laetitia Hardie
Thank you to all who have made a contribution to the maintenance of the churchyard in memory of Laetitia. If anyone would still like to make a contribution either in cash or bank transfer, it is being coordinated by Pauline Curthoys.

Here are a few words written by her daughter Olivia:
It is with a mixture of great sorrow at the loss but with immense gratitude for having had such a wonderful mother and for so long that I am letting you all know that Mummy died peacefully in her sleep aged 105 at 6.10 this morning in the devoted care of St. Monica Trust.
She will now join my beloved father in Shipton Moyne churchyard in the Gloucestershire countryside they so loved. It is a provision of her Will that the funeral be private. We are to have a service by the graveside from the Book of Common Prayer to be conducted by the Reverend Nicholas Maddock who was her rector while she was living in Wrington and who has been such a faithful friend to her during the six years she spent in her nursing home.
Her days on this earth were long, happy and fulfilled. She was a blessing beyond measure to her family and others too numerous to count. Her life was greatly enriched by your friendship (and in many cases of your parents too).
Thank you for all that you meant to her.
As she was looking down the years she once told me that her headmistress used to say that whenever she heard laughter she knew Laetitia was not far away.
With love,
Olivia
