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.

Wakes 2023 you have been awesome. What a week! We have had the most support and visitors we have had for several years. It’s been action packed and we are completely exhausted but happy to have seen so many friends new and old. We are a truly special village and we need to remember and try and maintain that as long as possible.
Wakes would not be possible without the help and support from so many volunteers, the Oddfellows, Kirsty, Jane and the Sycamore Team and everyone at the Legion. So from me to you thank you. It’s time for a rest now but we will be back in 2024.
I just wanted to leave you with one of my favourite photos of Wakes so far, showing one of our Carnival Committee going above and beyond.
Tubby’s Munch Box will be serving food from around 5.30pm from outside the pub. You can see a selection of what they offer on their Facebook site https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083505574633 but it will be similar to this…
Thanks to David G for this fabulous series of pictures. The skill of eating without standing in his food is clearly yet to be learned by this youngster.
A fantastic write up and picture from Ashbourne Running Club following last night’s hill race – as always, a pleasure to have them join us.
” Parwich Hill Race – super turnout from the club with a special welcome to those running tonight who only recently started with us in our Thursday group. Ewan Busfield (honorary ARC member?) took the win in style from Chris Patterson & Zach Lomas. Emily Sanders & Molly Busfield were second and third females, Ewan also took first to the top of the hill & Martin Wright won a cup & mug for most venerable runner. The results took a while due to the rainstorm that hit the race and dissolved many race numbers but congrats & thanks to Parwich.org for sticking with it and giving us a great event. “
What a night! A massive thank you to everyone who came along and ran in the rain we had a great turn out and all the Juniors who took part did amazing. An extra special thank you to everyone who volunteered to make the event run as it wasn’t an easy one and a massive thank you to Roger Cundy who without everything he does this event would not take place.
I will shortly be publishing the results and times but here are a few photos, sorry I didn’t get many when the rain started. If you have anymore we can share please email parwich@hotmail.co.uk
