Faith

St George’s is the parish church for Ticknall, much used by those who live locally for baptisms, weddings, funerals, Christmas and Easter services, Harvest Thanksgivings, Remembrances, Sunday services and mainy other uses by the community.

In 1792 Ticknall Methodist Trustees paid 15 shillings for part of a garden on the old coach road from Calke Abbey to the Parish Church (now Chapel Street). The plot belonged to Sarah, widow of Thomas Dutton, joiner, and was opposite the present Chapel.

Secularism is a principle that involves two basic propositions. The first is the strict separation of the state from religious institutions. The second is that people of different religions and beliefs are equal before the law.

The British Humanist Association (BHA) is the national charity working on behalf of non-religious people who seek to live ethical and fulfilling lives on the basis of reason and humanity.
