Rt. Revd. Vivienne Faull, Bishop of Bristol, pictured outside St. Mary's Lydiard Tregoze following a rededication service to celebrate the completion of the church's £1 million conservation project.

Bishop Viv, as she likes to be known, is seen chatting to congregation member Trevor Cooper-Tydeman. Behind them, to the right is Paul Gardner who chaired the conservation project and to the left Hugh Gunn who was representing The St. Andrews Conservation Trust, one of the project's generous funders.

The service was held on a windy Sunday morning on 30th October 2022 with Bishop Viv preaching.
