LAVENHAM LIFE

THE PARISH MAGAZINE

published jointly by Lavenham's Christian churches

Our Lavenham Life Parish magazine evolved from a church magazine started in 1985 and became formalised under a constitution approved by the Parochial Church Council in January 1997. It is run by a volunteer editor and business manager overseen by an editorial board comprising a lead and support representative of the Church of St Peter and St Paul, the Salvation Army and the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady & St John the Evangelist, Sudbury.

The A5 format magazine of some 56 to 60 pages is currently produced monthly, partly in colour, and distributed through village church and commercial outlets as well as by post to subscribers further afield. It contains details and reports of church and other village organisations, their activities and future events, our Christian churches service details, parish council minutes, village contact numbers, general public organisations and services information and local bus timetables. It is supported by advertising from commercial, charitable and good cause organisations.

The current price is 70p and the annual cost to postal subscribers is currently £18.60.
