Twyford United Reformed Church is 216 not out. No, that’s not its cricket score – it’s its age.

And next month it will hold a special service to celebrate its latest birthday. The present church was built in 1897 but before that there was an iron chapel on the site. To mark the occasion, Michael Penny, chair of Churches Together in Reading will host the service. It takes place at 10.30am on Sunday, July 8.

Afterwards, there be an anniversary lunch in the Church Hall.
