The whole village turned out to see the huge monument which bore the names of 23 men killed in the Great War. The crowd in the road was 6 deep in places, straining to get a better look as the Bishop, High Sheriff and the congregation poured out of the church ... and a photographer was there to capture the moment. On Sunday 14 June 2020, we will re-dedicate our memorial and unveil a new name which is to be added. (More about this next month). We also want to “recreate” a village photograph to mark the moment. There will be a brief church service at 11:00 am followed outside by the unveiling, re-dedication and the photograph at 11:30am. If ever there were a moment when EVERYONE was welcome – this is it. Please come and join in all, or just part, of the morning. Come dressed in your normal clothes, this is not a re-enactment of the 1920’s. There’s a plan for a Village Picnic on the Playing Field from 12:00 noon – more about that nearer the time.
