Parish Magazine

The long-established Parish News magazine, containing information and news from and about the parishes of Great & Little Maplestead, Pebmarsh and Gestingthorpe, underwent a major re-vamp in 2018.

Parish MagazineA Steering Committee, including four parish representatives, was formed to help the Editor ensure that the magazine better reflects each parish’s needs. One of this committee’s initial decisions was to scrap the magazine’s traditional subscription model and distribute it free to every household, increasing the magazine’s reach by over 50%

This has resulted in better, and wider-ranging, exposure for those loyal local businesses that provide the essential financial support necessary to fund the magazine’s publication. Information about the services they provide can be found here.

While the primary focus of the magazine remains the churches and local communities, the editorial brief now also includes Parish Council news and any relevant information from the District and County Councils.

There are 10 issues published each year – one a month but with single issues for December/January and July/August.

A version of the current issue can be read here.
