St Mary’s Church visit

Lynne reports on what BEWI’s local History Group has been investigating.  Ingrid kindly opened St Mary’s Church for us to see inside, we particularly admired this Quilted Banner made by the artist Gail Lawther. We explored the churchyard taking notes of several interesting graves, which we have since researched, and then went out for lunch afterwards.

 

On Friday we met for coffee and cake to share our findings and look at some WW1 and WW11 parish magazines which gave us both sad but also amusing wartime contributions on which to ponder life in Bransgore during those times.
