Plans also feature to mark this November’s 150th anniversary of the rededicaftion of St Giles after its rebuilding in honour of former village squire Bishop Samuel Wilberforce and there’s a preview of how the 80th anniversary of VE Day on 8 May will be celebrated here – plus lots more news and all the regular features. If you haven’t received your copy yet, or you live outside the village, you can read it online here.
