The time capsule had been specially made for the church by workers at Peter Brotherhoods, and representatives from the firm were present at the service and assisted with the burial of the capsule.

Following a thanksgiving service the congregation went outside and, in the presence of the rector and churchwardens, offered prayers as the capsule was placed into the ground.

The Rev Mark Bridgen said the instructions to be passed on is for the capsule to be dug up during 2117 - when the church will be celebrating its 900th anniversary.
