Joyce Smith - Churchwarden
Tel: 01666 822490
I was born in Charlton Parish where my family had farmed Street Farm since the 1920s. Street Farm was in the centre of the village and was a mixed arable and stock farm. As a child I attended Sunday School at St John the Baptist and grew up as part of the church family in Charlton. When I married Don we purchased a farm at Royal Wootten Basset where we lived for 48 years during which time we brought up four children, and now we have nine grandchildren.
When we retired little did we expect to return to Charlton, however the only house in a rural community with a view we really liked was in Charlton, so I returned to my roots. In May 2006 I became Churchwarden, following in my Grandfather and Father’s footsteps who were Churchwardens for 11 years and 35 years respectively.
I’m fully occupied with welcoming family and friends to our large farmhouse kitchen table, also in completing various soft furnishing commissions and sourcing new herbaceous plants for our garden. Don and I enjoy short breaks travelling in this country, always to the countryside. But I do have a wish one day to see the Norwegian Fiords.
All my life I have been passionate about the rural way of life, and since becoming Churchwarden have encouraged the introduction of services marking the passage of the farming year. Another of my interests that I have used for the church is embroidery and I helped Revd Sarah Wyman in designing and making her stoles for the various church seasons.
