On Saturday and Sunday June 12th-13th at 11:30 to 2pm there was an open house for people to see the grand opening of the renovated Russell Chapel:
History of the Chapel:
Few are aware that, in 1867, Middletown s Frances Russell donated the Gothic Revival Chapel in memory of her late husband Samuel Russell. Samuel Russell was an American Entrepreneur and Trader who founded Russell & Company in Canton, China. While he was in China, Samuel s first wife Mary died, leaving their sons, George and John Russell. Mary s sister, Frances Osborne, cared for the children for several years until their father s return. When he returned to Middletown, Samuel married Frances. Later, the family increased when Samuel and Frances were blessed with a son, Samuel Wadsworth Russell.

Conservationists in Guernsey are attempting to track and trap Asian hornet queens, as they emerge from hibernation or fly over from France.
For the third year in a row, they are asking islanders to report any sightings of the insects or nests and have set up traps around the Bailiwick.
In total, 270 specially modified traps have been set up in gardens, hedges and fields. Each volunteer has been given a kit with full instructions on what to do if they catch an Asian hornet. It is being rolled out across Alderney, Herm and Sark too.
