New priest-in-charge
The Church Wardens are delighted to announce the appointment of Reverend Nick Moir as our new priest-in-charge in Fen Ditton, Horningsea and Teversham.
Nick knows us well as he has been the Vicar of Waterbeach and is presently the Vicar of Chesterton. He has been keeping a helpful eye on us during the vacancy as he has also been the Rural Dean for North Cambridge.
Nick will start with us in March. No date has yet been fixed for his licensing service.
We all look forward to working with Nick, who has many imaginative ideas of things we can do in each parish.
Here’s November’s
Horningsea Herald.
Get ready for the return of the biggest bonfire and firework spectacle around! The HRA are building the bonfire on Saturday from 13:00 and they’ll be setting off fireworks and lighting the bonfire on Sunday.


Please do bring your burnable garden waste and wood along from 13:00 on Saturday. Do not leave or build anything without a member of the HRA being present.
Building the bonfire is hard work and it needs plenty of volunteers to make it work. So please do come along and give a hand.
The following weekend sees Remembrance Day (Sunday 14th November). There will be a church service followed by the laying of the wreaths at Jubilee Gardens
Greater Cambridge Planning launched a public consultation on the Local Plan this week. The Local Plan is about all aspects of development in this area until 2041 and includes homes, jobs, biodiversity, infrastructure, wellbeing and social inclusion and climate change. Greater Cambridge Shared Planning have started an Online Consultation from Friday 5th November for six weeks. Even without the sewage works relocation the Local Plan covers so much that it would be important to comment. But doubly so as this supposedly green local plan does not even include the proposal to relocate the sewage works to Green Belt at Honey Hill.
Stay safe and healthy over Winter!
13.00 hrs at the Village Green.
Help needed to make it the biggest ever!
Bring all garden waste, wood etc. Nothing toxic!
Members of the HRA will be supervising from 13.00hrs on Saturday (please do not bring anything before that time for safety reasons, thanks).
18:30 Sunday, November 7th on the Village Green.
Starts at 18.30 hrs.
Adults £5 cash at gate
Children Free
Sausages, soup, snacks, drinks – card machine

Here’s October’s Horningsea Herald,
This month we celebrate the retirement of Michael Gingell from farming. This is truly the end of an era as Michael’s father started farming in Horningsea in 1936. Come to the church for the Harvest festival on the 10th (this Sunday), then along to the village hall for a ploughman’s lunch and retirement party for Michael to thank him for all he has done for the village.
It is with sadness that we report the passing of two wonderful Horningsea residents at the end of September.
Don Edwards, along with Sally, created their wonderful Open Garden events, which raised much for charity and was always something to look forward to. Don Edwards passed away on Friday, 24th of September.
Robert Daws was a popular figure amongst both villagers and the farming community of Horningsea. Robert Daws passed away on Thursday, 23rd of September after a short illness.
Here’s a recent find of an old Harvest Festival poster. Any guesses as to its age?

The real poster is
