Prayer

A prayer for the Queen's Jubilee

 God of time and eternity, whose Son reigns as servant, not master; we give you thanks and praise that you have blessed this Nation, the Realms and Territories with ELIZABETH our beloved and glorious Queen. 

In this year of Jubilee, grant her your gifts of love and joy and peace, as she  continues  in faithful obedience to you,

her Lord and God and in devoted service to her lands and peoples, and those of the Commonwealth, now and all the days of her life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.    Amen

(Written by the Chapter of St Pauls Cathedral and recommended for use throughout this celebration year.)






 

Lowther family

 

WilliamLowther.jpgThe Lowther family was amongst the richest and most respected families in the country. William Lowther (above) and his wife Alice moved to Campsea Ashe in the 1880s when they bought the High House. He was an extremely wealthy man, a multi-millionaire in current terms. His children sponsored the East window to commemorate the lives of their parents

On his death the High House was inherited by his eldest son, James William Lowther who was also an MP and who became Speaker of the House of Commons.

The Lowther family inevitably had a great influence on the village. Read more about their story here (large pdf file 51MB will take a long time to load). 

There are many memorials to the Lowther family inside and outside the Church. Read The Lowther Memorial Trail here.
