THE VILLAGE of Bratton welcomed the newest Bishop of Ramsbury last weekend, in his first visit to the area.

The Right Reverend Edward Condry presided at a Benefice Communion Service at St James’ Church, before meeting members from churches in Bratton, Edington, Coulston and Erlestoke.

At his visit on June 7, Rev Condry, who was appointed in June 2012, also visited Bratton’s Church Institute before enjoying a lunch prepared by St James’ catering team.
