On Sunday 17th November St Albans Abbey will host the High Sheriff of Hertfordshire’s Justice Service.  This tradition traces its origins back at least to the 12th century.  It has evolved to include representatives of all aspects of the justice system from barristers and judges to police and probation service.  As Chaplain to the High Sheriff, Rev’d Richard Banham will be preaching. All are welcome to attend, please come in good time to get a good view of the three different processions.

Please ask Richard if you need a lift to this event.
