Noted This Week

Page Editor: Richard Mammana

WHENEVER WE LEARN about a web site that we haven't previously listed, we note it here. Sometimes such sites are brand new and sometimes they have been around for a while without our having noticed. We list two weeks' worth, cycling the old ones off each week. As they disappear from this page, you'll find the links moved to their natural home categories in our resource pages. We do not mention on this page remakes of sites that are already in our listings.

If you can't find something that was once here, you can look in our archives or try the AO search engine. It searches our entire site. If you still can't find it, please let us know.

If you would like your website listed at Anglicans Online, please use this form to tell us about it.

'I am happy to fulfil Sunday duties. My Rectory is a beautiful 5-bedroom 30s property with a large garden in the most beautiful area of Bath. It is three-quarters of a mile from the centre of Bath, and half a mile from beautiful countryside. I have chickens which will need letting out and shutting up. I have a lovely black lab, but could easily find carers for her. There can be a car available, and bikes. There will probably be no duties needed. The garden has a large trampoline. I have two children of 10 and 12. Bristol airport is 40 minutes away. Anything considered! Thanks, [the] Revd Philip Hawthorn philip@ststephensbath.org.uk.'
