Grass cutting at St. Giles Church, Goodrich
Fifteen volunteers met on Monday, 13th September and, despite the threat of rain, St. Giles Churchyard, Goodrich, has again benefitted from their enthusism and efforts. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and will definitely not have to go to the Gym this week! They mowed, strimmed, raked and weeded their way to a well deserved tea break! Don't miss [...]
Art Exhibition at the Church
Firstly apologies to the painters whose pictures I photographed - somewhat hurriedly, for the distortion. And black and white does not do justice to the fine works here represented. There were 120 paintings and photographs in the ART EXHIBITION. In addition there was a wide range of pottery, ceramic and porcelain. It was evidently a [...]
The ‘new’ Bishopswood Village Hall celebrates its 10th anniversary
Bishopswood has always had an active social community. Until 1956 most of Bishopswood’s social events were held either at the school building or occasionally in Bishopswood Mansion.

The St. Dubricius Fête – August 2010
Sometimes wet, sometimes (most times) dry, even sunny but never excessively hot thanks to a cooling north wind, this annual event followed its traditional lines most successfully. It appeared at the end of the day that the crowd was up on previous years as, most probably the “take”. These assorted photos show mostly local people. The real [...]
