Commemorative Bench for The Dovecot Meadow – update!

On Monday 4th March, we took delivery of a bench commemorating the Coronation of King Charles III in 2023. Peter Evans kindly secured it to the ground in a corner of the Dovecot
Meadow, beside the trodden path. Dominic Mahony and a strong villager passing by kindly lent a hand with the lifting, as it was very heavy!

We are very lucky to have this special village space and we hope people will enjoy pausing there to relax, absorb the view, spot the variety of wild flowers and listen to the beautiful singing of our local birds.
