Forncett Village Info

Many of you may remember last year when St. Peter's church took part in the Open Churches Week, we had many exhibits displaying the work of many local talented residents and rural crafts. We were very pleased to welcome over 200 visitors who came to see our wonderful church and the exhibitor's work.

This year we are planning to open the church from 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. each day and would like to have exhibitions of local interest, art, crafts etc. If you have any suitable items/ work which could be exhibited in the church please contact us as we need to start planning the space needed, lay out etc.

As last year we will be offering church photo's, cards etc and refreshments for purchase by donation and will be running a tombola to raise funds for St. Peter's. If anyone has any items for donation for the tombola they would be very much appreciated.

Please don't forget St. Peter's is open daily from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. until the end of September if you wish to visit and spend some time quite time in the church and experience what other visitor's have described as "an amazing atmosphere".

The Versio Choir from Finland will be performing in the Church at 7:00 p.m. They sing a variety of music, sacred and folk songs.

Tickets—£6 but £5 for ‘Friends’, available from 1^st May. Donations of Refreshments and/ or raffle prizes would be appreciated.

We did the ride last week, and I got home late on Monday evening.  I wanted to tell you something about it, but most of all to thank you again for your donation and kind words of support.

No words are adequate enough to describe what it was like.   It was wonderful.   300 riders took part, backed up by fantastic support teams from H4H itself and Discover Adventure, the company which arranged accommodation; route marking; medical care, and cycle repair support. 

The restoration of St. Mary’s Church is moving along quite rapidly now. Minor repairs have been carried out to the internal walls which now await limewashing. Quotes are being obtained for the replacement of the windows and repairs to the tracery.
