New Village Magazine

I’m pleased to let you know that Mundford Parish Council have endorsed the start up of a new magazine, which will be distributed free to every household in Mundford, and . We’re calling it The Mundford Messenger and a copy will also be published online at mundfordmessenger.org.uk. The first issue will be February 2019. We want this magazine to be a true reflection of our village community and ask you to contribute your news, events and stories every month.
