The New Ecclesiastical Parish Of Bishopstrow And Boreham

As from February 1957, the area known as Boreham, Warminster, with the Church of St. John the Evangelist, formerly in charge of the Vicar of Warminster, was added to the ecclesiastical parish of Bishopstrow. This meant the new parish of Bishopstrow and Boreham had two churches (St. Aldhelm’s and St. John’s respectively) situated about one mile apart.

Boreham Added To The Ecclesiastical Parish Of Bishopstrow

As from February 1956, the area known as Boreham, Warminster, with the Church of St. John the Evangelist, formerly in charge of the Vicar of Warminster, was added to the ecclesiastical parish of Bishopstrow. There are thus two churches in the new parish, situated about one mile apart.

Rowland Fitz Of Boreham (Such Men Form The Backbone Of English Character)

From The Warminster & District Parish Magazine, August 1933:

Warminster, St. John’s. Rowland Fitz
On St. James’s Day we laid to rest the mortal remains of Rowland Fitz, who has passed on to his rest after many months of weary suffering and acute pain. The choir was present, and the hymns “”Fight The Good Fight” and “”Glory Be To Jesus” were sung and a large congregation were present.

It is wonderful what the influence of a good, quiet man can have in the vicinity in which he lives. Wherever one went, people were deeply moved at the news of Rowland Fitz’s death at such a comparatively early age. A man of fine physique, a zealous and most conscientious workman, home-loving, deeply religious without any outward show or boast, and devoted to his wife and children. Such men form the backbone of English character. Even men who were seldom in his company readily testify to his fine Christian character and his charm and gentle manner. By his death St. John’s has bid farewell to a son of whom she is proud.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Mrs. Fitz and her daughters in their irreparable loss. No patient was ever nursed with more tender devotion, patience and care, night and day, than was Rowland Fitz by his wife and daughters. Even when on the verge of exhaustion they carried on, hoping against hope. Such love and charity are never wasted, even though they may seem to us to be. These deeds are noted in the Book of Life. We pray for the comfort of the Holy Spirit for those who mourn his loss and that eternal rest may be granted to him who is gone before.

Burial. July 25th – Rowland Fitz, of 27, Boreham, aged 53 years. R.I.P.
