VE Day netting has gone up at St John’s
The VE Day netting has gone up around the arch of St John’s and the red, white and blue flowers have been placed around the churchyard in readiness for the National celebrations on 8th May.
We are indebted to our Steeple Keeper, Ken, who looks after our bells, and the rest of the team for hanging the netting around the porch.

Caterham Walk & Talk
14 April 2025
Knights Garden Centre Woldingham
Woldingham Rd
Woldingham
Caterham
CR3 7LA
We are a new, local group for all ages, for walking & making friends, based in & around Caterham.
Walks will be various levels of difficulty & on different days and times to make it more accessible.
Although this is organised by the church, it is open to everyone and will not be a specifically "religious" event.
Walking is good for wellbeing; for mental and physical health, and socialising and spending time in nature are good for the spirit. We are coming together for all these reasons.
This particular walk is largely flat, with a small incline. It's around 2 miles in a loop from Woldingham Knight's, and ending up back there. Knight's has some parking available. On a scale of croydon road (1) to Waller Lane (10), it is probably a 4.
Dogs are welcome so long as they are not aggressive.
Please bring adequate water for you and your dogs and adequate clothing/suncream etc & any medication you need to stay safe and well.
