EARLIER today, Saturday, May 31, the Bishop of Exeter joined members of Cranbrook church who are walking 256 miles from Lands End to Cranbrook to raise funds to build a new church building and community space in the new town.

Bishop Mike joined the Rev Jon Holder and his fellow walkers for one of the final five hour stretches of the walk from Maidencombe to Starcross.

The team set off on May 15 and are due to arrive back at Cranbrook Primary School, where the church currently meets, tomorrow (Sunday).

Rev Holder said: “Cranbrook is a great place to live, but there’s no church building and very few community facilities.

“We have a real vision to build something that meets the needs of our community and shares God’s love with them.”
