Hide AdCoun Rush said: “The Plough Sunday Services in both Bicker and Wrangle were most wonderful occasions.
“The high regard in which the Mayor is held was evidenced by the compliments and congratulations expressed by so many of the congregation following my reading, and in what were very full Churches of St Swithin’s, Bicker, and St.Mary’s and St.Nicholas’ Wrangle.
“It was indeed a privilege and a pleasure, for us to have been invited, as the Borough Council’s first citizen and Mayor.”
He said he was told at Wrangle that Bicker were the first to have a Plough Sunday and the church took the inspiration from them.
