Twinned town and country churches enjoy the Dales together

The annual primrose walk in Austwick near Clapham took place on 11 May with parishioners from Austwick, Clapham and St John's, Bowling in Bradford - it's a relationship that's been going a long time. The Revd Ian Greenhalgh, Vicar of Clapham with Keasden and Austwick, says, "We decided over eight years ago it would be good to twin with a parish in Bradford. I got to know the vicar, Howard Austin, and his leaders and we have met regularly ever since. It's been really good for both churches to learn more about church in a very different context."
