St. Mary’s Church would like to invite you to an exhibition of the local history surrounding St. Mary’s Church. Covering the medieval period up to the present day, there will be a display of the curated artifacts in our care. There will be a chance to view much of Maria Pollard’s Edwardian wood carving, the church’s historic silver and brassware, and our collection of liturgical vestments and other textiles. Alongside this will be a chance to rediscover more recent history, with banners and standards from the Mothers’ Union and the Royal British Legion, as well as a selection of cross stitched kneelers, many stitched by familiar faces still in the village today!

We hope you come along.
