Bradbourne Mill was acquired as a ruin some years ago and was restored and converted into accommodation. Since then it has changed hands and the new owners have done more restoration work and investigated the history.

They are offering the Parwich and Local District History Society a private tour and talk on 18th July (10am meet), to look round the building and the site and hopefully see some of the machinery in action.

There are a few places left… If you are interested please email parwich.history.society@gmail.com by 5pm 16th July.

£5per person, which includes refreshments

The last remaining annuals will be on sale for the next fortnight. Come and save them from their fate in the compost bin! To date you have helped PDHS raise over £200 which in turn will be used to support other groups and societies in the village.

Many thanks from PDHS

A lovely sunny summer’s afternoon saw another very successful Parwich Open Gardens. Our many visitors, who’d travelled from near and far were full of compliments for the gardens and the warm welcome they received. Thank you so much to everyone in helping to make this such a special day in the village calendar which once again has raised several thousand pounds that we shall be able to share among other Parwich clubs and organisations.

Many thanks too to John L for his fantastic photos that have captured the day perfectly.
