More than 70 guests dressed in authentic costumes were welcomed through the doors, and Grace was recited in Latin by Diana Mitchell before a variety of sweetmeats, savoury pies and meat dishes were offered.
Activities and games were held between meals, along with an auction of food in aid of church funds and a trio of costumed minstrels, Tim Hampson, Pru and Beth Barnes, helped add to the fun filled atmosphere.
The event ended with the Rev Nick Law thanking everyone involved in such a successful evening.
