The part of the Old Police Station surrounded with scaffolding will also be demolished to provide a new access.

The exhibition is at St. Ethelwold’s House, 30 East St Helen Street, from today until Saturday 27th March. Entry is from 10am to 5pm each day and is free.

When I got there to look round, The chair of Abingdon Artists was showing round the chair of the Vale of White Horse District Council.

They were standing beside a distinctive picture of St Helen’s Wharf by John Stephen.

There are a varied selection of work in various media from several of the town’s talented artists, both amateur and professional. Artwork is available to purchase, along with greeting cards and there is a raffle to win an original painting.

Almost 300 primary-school children visited Trinity Church in Abingdon, to take part in “Experience Easter”. The church was transformed into scenes from Jerusalem during Holy Week.

Among the activities, the children wrote their hopes & dreams on palm crosses, dried each others’ hands as symbolism of caring and shaped plasticine figures to decorate the Garden of Gethsemane. “

Thanks to Rosemary for sending me these pictures.
