Two images from St Mary\u2019s Church taken in the last couple of months, which to me offer a positive thought at this Christmastime of dreadful, seemingly unresolvable, conflict in the world, particularly in Gaza and Ukraine.\u00a0 The first, a tribute to my great-uncle John, part of Alan Williamson\u2019s very special and evocative display on Remembrance Day of the stories of the Knebworth men lost in conflict.\u00a0 John, the 17th<\/sup> Generation of the Lytton family to live at Knebworth House was lost to us in a terrible and senseless war with our neighbours the Germans 80 years ago.\u00a0 The second image shows my son Edward, the 20th<\/sup> Generation of the Lytton family to live at Knebworth House, entering a lifetime union with his German bride Helena, married by our Priest-in-Charge, Charles, himself married to a German partner, Anke, at a service beautifully conducted by Charles in both the English and German language.\u00a0 Seemingly unresolvable conflicts do pass, through the sacrifice of the brave, and the world does move on, and will again become a beautiful place.<\/p>\n

Happy Christmas.<\/p>\n
