WEDDING 

Considerable interest was manifested in a wedding which took place in the parish church on Wednesday. The bride-groom was Mr. Francis Ernest Rudland and the bride, Miss Bessie Alderton of Walthamstow. 

The bride wore a gown of cream, bridal veil and wreath of orange blossoms, and carried a beautiful shower bouquet. She was attended by two bridesmaids, her sister (Miss P. Alderton) who wore a dress of champagne colour and hat to match and Miss L. Lambert (cousin of the bridegroom) who wore a dress of tweed mixture and black picture hat. 

The bride was given away by her brother (Mr. P. Alderton) and Mr. S. Lambert (cousin of the bridegroom) acted as best man. 

The ceremony was performed by the Rector (Rev. H. T. O'Rorke). The organist (Miss Laurence) presided at the organ and played the 'Wedding March' and the choir sang. The wedding presents were numerous. Mr. Rudland is a member of St. Mary's Church Choir and of the Feltwell Enterprise Band.
