Over the weekend of 18th-20th September, we will be celebrating the rich history of the area including the local mining and farming communities, as well as it's close links with the Carnarvon family and D.H. Lawrence.

The church and neighbouring Manor Room will be open to visitors every day. On display will be photographs, films, information and stories about the history of the area and it's working people. The Manor Room will also be providing refreshments for purchase throughout the weekend.
