The Friends of St Paulinus church held a fundraising Afternoon Tea at the Rectory on Saturday (8 June), which was hosted by Rev Paul Prentice.

A substantial spread of sandwiches and cakes together with tea and coffee were the order of the afternoon, and members were able to socialise and chat in the Rectory garden in the summer sunshine. There was also a fundraising raffle.

Among the guests attending the event were Bexleyheath and Crayford MP, Rt Hon Sir David Evennett and his wife Lady Evennett, and Bexley’s new Mayor Cllr Geraldene Lucia-Hennis and her husband Peter.
