NEWS:

PLEASE NOTE From 23 June, the outreach Post Office in the village hall will only be open on Mondays.

The FINAL issue of the Village & Community Magazine – June 2025 – is now available on this link. (There will also be some printed copies available in south entrance porch at the Village Hall, courtesy of Tractor Spare Parts Ltd.) Last month’s issue explained why, after well over a century, the publication is coming to an end, and in the absence of anyone coming forward to take over its collation and production, it looks like it really is the final issue. 

Coming up soon
