Sunday marked the beginning of our week long Flower Festival in St Peter’s Church.
The day began with a Songs of Praise service taken by Sarah Lacey, and organist Debbie Manner.
Tea and cakes followed the service until later that afternoon.
We had many local visitors. Hikers and cyclists called in for a welcome break. Also a Paraglider from Castleton visited after landing in a nearby field. All were made welcome and enjoyed looking at the beautifully decorated church.
The flowers which have all been collected from village gardens, will remain in church until this coming Saturday.
Any donations gratefully received will go towards our fundraising efforts for a Memorial Garden in the churchyard at St Peter’s.

The beautiful limestone Parwich War Memorial in Parwich churchyard has been cleaned and restored. It was originally erected in 1919, paid for by public subscriptions, and dedicated by the Bishop of Southwell. Now under the auspices of your Parish Council, a cleaning and restoration has taken place by Jack Sills of IMI, Nottingham.
The national War Memorials Trust contributed to half of the cost, with the rest of the funds coming through generous donations from the Royal British Legion, the Oddfellows, Parwich church, the village United Charities, and Longcliffe Quarries.

As part of a private funeral at St Peter’s Church, Parwich tomorrow, there will be a horse-drawn hearse travelling from Upper Moor to the Church, arriving for 11am. The family would be extremely grateful if the area in front of the church and green could be kept clear for this.
Attendees will begin arriving from 10am and the village is likely to be busy. Some members of the equine community will also be bringing their horses as a mark of respect, standing by the village green. Following the service a bugle call will be made.

Thank you to everyone who came to support us on Sunday. The church was full of flowers and looked incredible! We had lots of visitors, even though the weather could have been a little kinder. Tea and cakes were enjoyed, and the day went very well.
The flowers are in church until Saturday morning of this week.
