On 16th December 2012 there wasn’t a seat or pew left in St. Mary’s Old Church. The annual Carol Service, which was organised jointly by West Bergholt Parish Church and the Friends of St. Mary’s Old Church, brought together well over two hundred people, many of whom had walked across the fields to the old church in the sunshine.

The service included contributions from the choir, led by Caroline Finlay accompanied by Mike Neish on the organ, with his assistant, Jon Smith manning the pump. Richard Chadborn and Michael Foster conducted the service.
