A half page spread under the title “Blog site keeps villagers updated“, it also has a picture of the site (showing our post ‘Peak Park confused about Memorial Hall‘). The final sentence “… it should be a beacon for other villages contemplating a [...]

This afternoon we have just past the 20,000th hit on our website, which is really remarkable for such a small village.
I would particularly like to thank two people. Without Mike Atkinson’s vision and expertise we would probably never have had such an appealing, well laid out site, that is informative and easy to use. [...]

Just to clarify something which has apparently been causing some confusion: when you see the words “No Comments” at the end of a post, it just means that nobody has left a comment as yet. It’s not an instruction, forbidding you to leave any comments!
If you want to leave the first comment on a [...]

PARWICH.ORG notes with amusement - and no small measure of pride - that the Diocesan Office in Derby were well and truly spoofed by last week’s “Ring Tones for Parwich Church” post.
Having contacted the office to seek “fast track approval” for the project, our vicar was surprised to receive a totally genuine reply - complete [...]

We are getting lots of positive feedback on the site both in emails to the team and face to face. This is great, but we would be even more chuffed if you put your comments in the comments section under the relevant post or on the relevant page. This is a community website, but it [...]
