Open House Coffee in the Reading Room will start again on Wednesday 3rd January at 10.30, organised by Jane.
We look forward to welcoming friends old and new. My Mother, Ann Hayler, a resident of Great Coxwell Since 1973, passed away Wednesday the 27th of this month, 85 years old.
The family moved to Great Coxwell in 1973, to the Laurels Cul-de-Sac. Almost all the 7 houses of the Cul-de-Sac had new families arrive in 1973 and many now still remain of that era, it was almost a micro community of is own within the village. There were a lot of children growing up in the Laurels in the 70s it was a bustling hub. My mother was active in the W.I and St Giles Church. Ann will be buried at St Giles Church. Date not finalised, yet. I have added some photos, for those whom may not have seen her for some time. Kind regards. Jonathan Miles-Hayler Invitations and timings have now been delivered around the village. Seating is limited, therefore can I remind those who find it difficult to stand during the carol service, to reserve a seat by Saturday 23rd December, via Maureen. Reserved signs will be placed on the seats before the service.
I extend out grateful thanks to the team of village volunteers who have given of their time, talents and expertise, to make this event happen this year. Merry Christmas. Maureen revmaureen1@gmail.com 01367 240875 Jane has knitted toys, tree decorations and hand made jewellery for sale.

Great Coxwell has enjoyed a wonderful Christmas tradition for the past 22 years with a nativity scene set up in the NT Tithe Barn, and a Christmas Eve Procession through the centre of the village concluding with a Christmas Service inside the Barn. Each year we raise funds for the church, charity, and community fund. All of this is carried out by village volunteers and through kind donations. We dearly hope to keep this going for 2023, and for future generations to enjoy. But we need your help to do this, whether you are brand new to the village, or have a generation legacy!!! Can you help in advance? Or on Christmas Eve? Or can you help in early January for the take down? All help, any time commitment will work! No knowledge, or skills necessary! Volunteers are needed to help plan, and set up for the Christmas Eve Procession, and Christmas Service in the NT Tithe Barn. There is much to do! This also includes the preparation, and staging of the nativity scene which is in place from early December through to January. All help will be extremely welcome. Even if you can only spare a few hours! Please email the team to let us know if you have a child, or grandchild that would like to be Joseph or Mary this year. We are also in search of a donkey, mule, or miniature pony to lead the procession if anyone can help. Please email the events team at: GreatCoxwellChristmasEvent@gmail.com |
