The service was conducted by Reverend John Alford, to celebrate the beginning of the agricultural year.

Rev Alford said: “It was a great service and so lovely to see such a big turn out. We started by blessing the ploughs, and then the soil, this was a great way to see the children get involved.”

About 60 people attended the church to celebrate Plough Sunday, a traditional service that is held to mark the start of farming season, which starts on the Monday.

The celebrations are traditionally held on the Sunday after Epiphany.

Rev Alford said: “Overall I think we had around 15 farmers attend, which was great to see.”
