St Mary's Church
A Memory of Bexley.
We lived in the village from 1954-1964 before moving to Bournemouth. St Mary's Church was a centre of our social life...I went to St Mary's School in Bourne Road - now gone- also Sunday School. Later after the Evening Service we would go to the Institute opposite to Sunday night at 8. Bank Holiday Mondays the boys would organise a days hike into the countryside. Oh to be able to do that now!! I also used to ring the Church bells - there were 8 -Wednesday was practise nights how the neighbours must have hated them. Saturdays it was often weddings how we moaned when the brides were late & we had to keep going. Then of course services in Church. The Vicar was Rev Stanley Hooper assisted by the Curate Arthur who would ride through the village on his bike singing.
We made our own entertainment but I have many happy memories.

Now the coincidence is that in 1964 after I was married we too moved west to Wimborne where we are living today, in the same bungalow!
