The organ was stripped for repair at the beginning of August 2009. The contractor John Bleney expects the work to be completed early in 2010.

There is always a warm welcome at St Bridget’s and this has been enhanced by the new heaters installed in December 2009. The Vicar and PCC have updated the under pew heating and are looking forward to services in a warmer building.

Doctor Who came to Skenfrith in February 2010. Despite the bitter wind and the slight covering of snow, roses were blooming in the gardens and geraniums were in full flower in window boxes. The church parking area was decked out with a horse trough, seats and small palms were waving in the cold breeze. There was even a very strange sight - a bus stop! It’s many years since such a thing was seen in Skenfrith. A surreal yellow school bus was awaiting its moment of fame in the Bell car park. However as the Time Lord disappears in his Tardis so Skenfrith will return to early Spring 2010 - or is it early Spring 1910?
