Over the last few weeks our bell-ringers have had the pleasure of being visited by a Spanish journalist, Cristobal Ramirez, who was staying in the area. A copy of his article can be downloaded here (please excuse the poor English which can only be blamed on the automatic web translation)!
For the original article (in Spanish) and for the rest of Cristobal’s blog about his stay in Buckden and the surrounding area. Please follow the link below:-

Starting from 1st August 2014, St Mary’s Buckden will be in an interregnum (or vacancy). This means that we do not currently have a vicar or priest in charge. The selection process for a new priest will take some months to complete. In the meantime, Sunday Services and Wednesday Communion will continue as normal with the help of our team of retired clergy and licensed lay ministers. Bookings for baptisms, weddings and funerals are still being taken – please contact the churchwardens in the first instance.
If you want to know about the process of the interregnum, there is an information sheet which is displayed in church or can be downloaded here
THE INTERREGNUM or more correctly THE VACANCY.
Thank you for your help, your prayers and your patience during this time.
