VILLAGE AND TOWN WALKS WITH A GUIDE
This group has been very popular in the past. We will use a local historian from the village who will walk around the parish pointing out places of interest.
We need one or two members to get the group re-started. William is happy to give assistance and ideas of places to visit and finding a guide. If you are interested in helping please contact William.
