We would like to thank Edward and Edith Wilson of Sandgate Farm, Flookburgh, for raising £1415 for St Mary's.
The couple have an interesting farming history. Following in Edward's fathers and grandfathers footsteps, the family has worked on Sandgate Farm since 1840. Astoundingly their family's history in agriculture can be traced back as far as 1680! Edward and Edith have now been happily married and farming together for 50 years. They have 5 children who also all work in agriculture and 12 grandchildren to keep them busy!
To celebrate their 50 years of marriage and farming together the couple held a 50th Anniversary party at Holker Hall Courtyard. The money raised in lieu of gifts was kindly donated to St Mary's.
