Here are all the pictures from today’s Tissington Well Dressing Children’s Day, the first time there has been such a day in the history of the wells. It was attended by the children from FitzHerbert and Parwich Primary schools. The event was jointly organised by the Peak Five churches and Ashbourne Methodist Circuit.

Sadly, George Woolley passed away on Thursday 23rd February. George grew up in Mappleton before eventually moving to Parwich, where he has lived for almost 50 years. Initially he lived at Gibbon’s Bank before spending the rest of his life in Sycamore Cottages with his wife Kathleen, who he has been married to for 49 years. He has four sons, Robin, Andrew, Robert and David, a daughter Jayne, eight grandchildren and one great grandchild.
George has always been a real supporter of village life, involved in various committees, he sat on the Village Hall Committee for many years and was also the President of the Horticultural Society for a long time; horticulture was one of his keen interests.
His family invites you to join them at his funeral on Monday at 9am at St Peter’s Church, Parwich.

Andy explained that the Bible tells us that Jesus came into this world as a light into the darkness.
The questions is… What type of light?
In these photos, Andy is attempting to answer this question using a home made flame thrower!

Let there be Light
Posted in 2011, Catering 4 Parwich, Church, Crafts, Memorial hall, Posts of Note, Young people on Monday October 31, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Let There Be Light, a children’s event celebrating God’s creation, organised by Revd Andy Larkin, took place today in the Memorial Hall. Thirty eight children attended and enjoyed activities including a shadow theatre, an ultra-violet light filled maze, decorating gingerbread people, producing a full size decorated image of themselves and a huge joint piece of art celebrating the creation story from the Bible.
The parents enjoyed the excellent cafe provided by Catering 4 Parwich. The only problem was how to get the huge painting into the church, when it was finished! As the children left, they were each given a light stick. To see all the photo’s check out the Peak Five facebook page. A video will be posted soon.
“Thank you all who worked so hard with the planning, organisation and delivery. Especially the parents who unexpectedly found themselves being helpers to cope with the number of children (you know who you are!). Thanks also to all of you who came and supported the event and helped to make it such a great morning. Revd Andy Larkin.”
