The Year 2000 in Review

To celebrate the Church's 150th Anniversary and the Millennium an extensive programme of events took place.

150th Anniversary Festival

A three day Festival was held on the 5th, 6th and 7th of May with displays of flowers, crafts, history of the church and village, local enterprises and industries. Village gardens were open and there were refreshments and music. What a wonderful event - three days of glorious sunshine and many, many visitors.
