Early Easter
Easter is very early this year, falling on Sunday 23 March. Did you know that the last time it was this early was back in 1913? That was ten years after our present building was opened but predates any of our existing congregation. The next time it falls this early is in the year 2160.
Because of the way the date is calculated, it can sometimes even occur on 22 March but that last happened in 1818, when Hither Green was nothing more than fields with a few tracks passing across it and won't happen again until 2285!
