June 10th started out overcast but as 2pm approached the skies cleared giving way to a glorious afternoon and evening – perfect for the Open Gardens afternoon. This was the fifth time that this biennial event has been held, raising money for St Swithun’s Church.
The church was the starting point where for £5 visitors were given a green wrist band so that they could visit any of the 8 gardens open for viewing in the village. Teas were available at Rectory Farmhouse, ice creams and other delights at the URC schoolroom and Indian nibbles served at the Rectory.
The event raised £840.
