Good Friday witness walk in Sheringham

Over a hundred people from Sheringham churches took part in the Good Friday Walk of Witness to erect the wooden cross on nearby Beeston Hill. Tony Rothe reports.

The crowd set off from St Peter’s Parish Church under threatening skies, and walked to the Clock Tower in Sheringham town centre for a time of worship led by Sheringham Salvation Army band,  pictured right.

 
They then followed the cross, carried by young people from Lighthouse Community Church, through the town, below right, and along the winding path to the top of Beeston Hill, negotiating the broken steps as they climbed to the top of the local landmark.

 
The cross was then erected and secured on top of the hill, and a time of worship followed, remembering the sacrifice made by Jesus for the salvation of the world. The cross will remain in position throughout the Easter period as a visible reminder of the significance of the weekend.
