Induction of the Revd David Knight

Yesterday evening I attended the induction of the Revd David Knight as Vicar of the Claydons,
in the beautiful parish church of St. Michael's Steeple Claydon. The Church was full of villagers, friends and well-wishers and there was a lovely atmosphere. There are three churches in the parish: Steeple Claydon, East Claydon and Middle Claydon, which is in the grounds of the National Trust property Claydon House. Sir Edmund Verney Bt. of Claydon House, the patron of the living, presented Fr. Knight to the Bishop of Buckingham, who appointed him to the 'cure of souls' in the parish. The service was a lovely mixture of the formal and informal, with some fine singing by the church choir.
