Commemorative Benches image gallery

During the course of 2015 Jayne Tibbles updated the listing of Commemorative Benches in and around the village. Clicking on any picture will show you who the seat commemorates and where it is situated. In 2019, the Parish Council carried out a review of the condition of the benches and added the GPS co-ordinates. The PC Register number appears on each photograph.
