Plough Sunday 2016

Sunday 17th January was Plough Sunday in the village. The service at the church goes back hundreds of years and is the occassion when the local village plough is taken into the church to be blessed and a good harvest prayed for. It always happened in January, once the 12 days of Christmas were completed. Now it is a part of the month's family service. We joined the workers at Mary Arden's Farm on this very cold morning and walked behind the piper and the decorated plough, held high on its way to St Andrew's Church.

 

 

Well done to Alfie for carrying the flag so well.
