Happy #ShroveTuesday – or #PancakeDay as you might call it! Here are some of our choristers, staff and clergy preparing for our pancake races.

And today's big question is, of course – what do you have on your pancakes? Let us know in the comments below. (1/2)#TuesdayVibe pic.twitter.com/NVDW9lSKLq
#ShroveTuesday, also known as Pancake Day, is the day before Lent begins.
— The Church of England (@churchofengland) February 21, 2023
It is a day of celebration and feasting, which traditionally used up all the rich ingredients in the cupboard before the 40 days of fasting and preparation for Easter.
