St Lawrence Church
We had the pleasure of John Stanley leading Morning Prayer on 13 April. His theme was: ‘Jesus is the good shepherd’. A damp-proof concrete floor has been installed in the old boiler room at St Lawrence. This will enable the room to be used to store the myriad things that are currently stored in the tower and get in the way there.

Other recent events in the Village Hall included hoisting a flag up the new flagpole to celebrate St George’s day on 23 April,

and an illustrated talk about Sightsavers International, which provides treatment in the world’s poorest countries to help restore lost sight, on 25 April.
Parish Council
The Parish Council met on 18 April. A full report will be published in the June LINK. The Council wishes to thank John Leck of Barton Hill Farm for repairing the village bench besides the bus shelter.
In spite of continued efforts since July 2007 to get the missing road signs in the village replaced by Warwick Highways Division, nothing has yet transpired.
