March 7^th, Meeting of parishioners to support the movement for restoring the Church.
Nov. 8^th – South West pinnacle struck by lightning at 6.45 am.

The high winds stripped off some 18 or 20 roof slates and damaged the lightning conductor.
During the year a tea was given to the children of the Board School, by the Rector and twice to the Sunday School.
The Church tower needs pointing, the rain beats on the bricks and then drains through the joints making the walls inside very wet. The work must be done soon or the tower will suffer.

A subscription list has been opened for repairing and pointing the tower. On 21^st September the offertories on Revel Sunday and at the Harvest Thanksgiving the next day amounted to £2.7s.3d. besides which a Sale of Work realised £6.0s.0d. and the sale of the old organ made another £6.0s.0d.
October – The Parish Room in the Rectory Yard was opened for games, reading and amusement for men and adults during the winter months – and a very good number attends, Popular lectures and tea parties are occasionally given by way of change, instruction and sociability.

May 25^th, the Tower is now finished and looks well able to withstand the storms once more – a fitting memorial of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
June 1^st, to celebrate the completion of the restoration work a public tea was held in the rectory rooms and about 80 people sat down to tea. At 7.30 pm there was a service of thanksgiving in the Church. The tower was opened entirely free from debt and a statement of accounts was printed and sent to each of the subscribers to the fund.

March 31^st, The Bishop of St. Germans confirmed 25 candidates in Week St. Mary Church today.
A surpliced Choir consisting of 11 boys and 5 men was instituted on Whit Sunday, June 3^rd.
The extensive restoration & improvement of the Rectory was begun April 18^th and were completed in 1907. The old kitchen was converted into the Dining Room, the Hall was enlarged, the old Dining Room became the Study, the old Study became the new Kitchen. Bathroom, lavatories etc. were provided. New windows were supplied throughout and a new back entrance and steps leading from the road was made, the old tumble-down cob buildings at the back were removed and a new stone wall built. The out buildings were also restored and improved. The total cost was defrayed by money from private sources.
The old dial was found at the Rectory, it was used as a step to the old Schoolroom. It was repaired and erected over the Church door.

A clock was placed in the Church Tower early this year. The clock was obtained by Mr. N.F.A. Cobbald for a small sum and he and S. H. Haslam made the face, hands and connecting parts and erected it in the tower. It has been going steadily and keeping good time for several months.
King Edward VII died May 6^th and was buried May 20^th. A united memorial service was held at the Church according to the authorized form at 1pm, the time appointed for the interment, the Church was crowded with representation from every house in the parish.

Early in 1921 Rev. C.J. Whitmell became unwell and resigned on 1^st April. Rev. M.V. Hardy came into residence for Sunday September 11^th and was inducted on November 5^th.
The Rectory Room, built by Rev. Haslem and bought from him by Rev. Whitmell  has now been purchased from him by the Church, for £150.

Rectory Room, new stove bought. Boiler house built.
New stoves were put in the Church at Revel, when the total amount of cost was raised (£25). The new stoves were made like the old ones, the wisdom of this is doubtful as they are very small, but supplemented with two Perfection heaters, they give a fair result.
The Church Army visited the Parish in October.

As the chairs in the Church are all very old, worm-eaten and gradually collapsing it was necessary to re-seat the Church. £48 was raised on Easter Day to start the re-seating fund.
There has been a very successful Flower & Vegetable Show and Garden Fete during this year.
The Church Army van visited the parish in November and there were some very good services.

Some necessary repairs done to the foundations and floor of the Rectory Room, under the Ladies Cloakroom, at a cost of £22.
