This year’s “Tree of Light” in Nantwich is being dedicated to tragic 16-year-old Jonty Evans.
The tree, which is lit up outside St Mary’s Church in November, gives residents a chance to
remember the loss of loved ones and think about those less fortunate than ourselves.
And this year Nantwich Town Council are dedicating it to the teenager from Baddington who was found dead in River Weaver on September 1.
A council spokesperson said: “This year the Tree of Light is dedicated to Jonty Evans, whose sad passing as the age of just 16, touched the whole community.”
People are invited to make a donation of £5 to dedicate a bauble on the “Tree of Light” to a loved one or a special cause.
Donations can be made at Nantwich Civic Hall where you can fill a bauble with a name, message or items of your choice.
Those who have previously purchased a bauble, can return it to the Civic Hall to be re-hung for a donation of £3.
In addition, names can be also be listed on Nantwich Town Council webpage of remembrance.
The cost of the tree is covered by Nantwich Town Council and all donations are divided between the Mayor’s charities and St Mary’s Church.
People can gather outside St Mary’s Parish Rooms on Sunday November 3 where the “Tree of Light” will be illuminated with a short service of prayer, hymns and poetry.
