Following St Mary’s Coronation service on Sunday 7 May 2023 we celebrated the dedication of a commemoration tree, a Discovery Apple. We also opened for the use by everyone a lovely bench sited near the lower gate in the Churchyard. The opening up of this lovely tranquil area was made possible through the generosity of Peter Smerdon ( in memory of his father Eric) and the Rattery Sawmill.

For the last 50 years Terry has danced with the Dartington Morris Men on May Day morning helping to collect for Rowcroft Hospice. As he is keeping in isolation he walked around the village from Fairlight, Mill Cross through the Village to Alms House Cross and back wearing Champernowne (Dartington Morris Men’s hobby horse) accompanied by Dot in the Green Man coat, banging a drum and carrying a bucket to collect money for Rowcroft Hospice. He and Dot raised £200.00.
