THERESA May, the Home Secretary, joined the Rt Revd Andrew Proud, the Bishop of Reading in a ground cutting ceremony at St Andrew's Church, Sonning, Berkshire, last month. The ceremony marked the start of work on a new oak framed hall and church office.
The Revd Jamie Taylor, the Vicar, said: "There has been a church here for well over 1,000 years and the present building is much loved.
However we are about much more than a beautiful building and recognise that the church is actually about people.
This hall and office will not only enable us to better serve our regular congregation, but also give us the space to reach out to the communities of Charvil, Sonning, and Sonning Eye in new and exciting ways. " Chris Knight
