On 1st January 2023, John Newton spoke those infamous words at St Peter and St Paul’s Church, Olney.
Now, nearly 250 years later, it is one of the most famous hymns of the world! Over 2022-2023, the whole world will be celebrating this hymn.
All eyes are set to be on Olney in 2023, when the town will be at the centre of commemorations to mark the 250th anniversary of one of the world’s most beloved hymns, ‘Amazing Grace’.
