  • Girls’ Churchyard Gardening Group

Usually the 1st Friday of the month we meet to do gardening tasks around the church yard – pruning roses and other shrubs, stripping ivy, cutting grass around the gravestones and other jobs that the mowers are unable to do. This is followed by lunch at the Swan. We meet at 11:00 am for gardening and lunch around 12:30 pm. When the weather is bad then we clean the brass in church but lunch is always the same!
