Clock Watchers Beware

Anyone used to setting their clocks or watches by the Denton church clock had better “watch out” for the next few weeks.

One result of the work currently going on at the church, to install toilets and reorganise the tower area, is the temporary removal of the ladder that gives access to the clock winding mechanism. As a result the clock has stopped, at 9.30.

The work will take approximately 12 weeks.

Fete Winners

A highlight of this year’s Village Fete held at Glebe Farm was the Scarecrow Competition.

This attracted nearly twenty high quality entries and the judges, Alma and Eric Herring from Topcroft, had some difficulty deciding the winners. Eventually the prizes were awarded as follows:

  • First – Adrian and Gemma of Rose Cottage, Darrow Green Road with “Bloody Wind”.
  • Second – Margaret and David of Wheatcroft, Norwich Road with “Anyone for Stuffing”.
  • Third – Ken and Julie of Stonecroft, Norwich Road with “Family of Four”.
  • Also: Highly Commended – Kath & Terry of Woodgate, Darrow Green Road with “Fiddler on the Roof”.

The fete raised over £1,000 for church funds.
