Visitors welcome at £5.00.

Fore! .. But There Is No Golf Course Here!
Several golf balls have recently landed in paddocks and gardens near The Leys. A golf ball struck from the nearby public footpath or rough ground can easily reach houses, horses, walkers and neighbouring property. So far nobody has been hurt, but it is only a matter of luck. If you enjoy practising your golf swing, please choose somewhere safe and appropriate. A polite request from local residents: please don’t use this area as an unofficial driving range.
St Mary’s Churchyard – Help Needed
You may be aware that the churchyard grass is mown and occasionally strimmed by a small team of dedicated volunteers. We could do with a couple more bodies to help us. If you are able to assist in looking after a patch then please contact Andrew Donaldson [email protected] or 07870 900703.
