April Parwich Film Show ONE LIFE
You’d need a heart of stone not to be touched by this extraordinary true story of Nicholas Winton, the “British Schindler”, and by the simplicity and heartfelt directness with which it’s told by screenwriters Nick Drake and Lucinda Coxon and director James Hawes. It’s a story of wartime Europe and postwar memory, and also a noble and inspired moment in the history of British popular TV. London broker Nicholas “Nicky” Winton helps rescue hundreds of predominantly Jewish children from Czechoslovakia in a race against time before the Nazi occupation closes the borders. Fifty years later, he’s still haunted by the fate of those he wasn’t able to bring to safety.
Starring Anthony Hopkins and Helen Bonham-Carter

Wondering if you can help. I recently found an article written almost 20 years ago by a Mary Whitechurch (nee Lewis) for the Parwich & District Local History Society telling the story of the Evans Family of Darley Abbey. I wondered if anybody knew whether Mary was still alive/contactable as I have recently been given copies of 3 photographs of possible family members which she might have been able to identify.

With thanks to John L for this great picture and reminder that today is Darwin’s last day delivering here in Parwich.
I’m sure we all wish to thank Darwin for his many years of service to the village, during which time he has become part of our community. We wish you all the best for your retirement Darwin, and hope to still see you around.
