Jennifer Hayes ( nee James and Evans as I was at this time) with a precious memory of St Michael's.

I had had a difficult period in my life and  my only refuge was to live and work in a hotel, with my son, in Shropshire. I suppose I was close to being destitute and the life we had was not a good start for my 5 yr old son. Ann Murphy, (Collison) was my long time school friend.

Regular church attendance was part of the deal. Us youngsters used to sit in the North aisle, usually messing about rather than participating in the worship. As we were in a corner we couldn't see what was going on anyway so to amuse ourselves we spent our time counting the various bits of glass in the stained glass windows.
