Church Open Day: Saturday 14th September: As our church is locked when not in use this was an opportunity to open it to the public and it conveniently coincided with Heritage Open Days. Around thirty people from the village and beyond visited. Many of these joined one of Edmund Redfern’s conducted tours of the church. He is so knowledgeable about the church and its history that visitors always enjoy these tours. A new feature this year was a knitting crafts stall. A group of ladies who enjoy knitting meet regularly in the village. Last year they made a big effort to knit items for a small craft fair. This year they repeated the exercise on a smaller scale for the Open Day and Lucy Bottomley (aided by Inigo) sold £120 worth of items for the Roof Appeal. No event like this would be complete without afternoon tea. Linda Moffat, helped by Enid Gould, Jean Pratt and Valerie Groombridge provided tea and home made scones and cakes which were free for participants in the Ride & Stride. In addition to the enjoyment this brought for visitors they raised £70 for the church.
