We have added a Welcome page for people moving into the village - it pulls together useful information for villagers new and old.
Any feedback please [email protected] Regards, GCPC Great Barn Festival is back 13th -15th of September this year. By now you should have had a flyer through your door with details on village festival discounts as well as advice on getting tickets for Sunday evening at the barn which will be free to villagers from 5.30pm. Please get in touch at [email protected] or call me, Ainslie, on 07774 459046 and I can help arrange tickets or answer questions.
Stonevale Concerts will be in the evening on Saturday the 14th in St Giles, a return of piano for four hands with Aleksei Demchenko and Lynette Stulting following their sell out concert earlier in the year. There will also be a classical guitar recital with Fernando Aguera on Sunday morning in support of the church roof fund. Other villagers will feature in bands on both Saturday and Sunday. Come along and cheer them on, see who you can spot! If you would like to get involved there are always things to lend a hand with (rewards given in the bar) or if you would like to perform, exhibit or sell at the event it’s never too late! With around 200 performers, that’s over 30 individual musical acts, three stage plays, storytellers, Punch and Judy, a Flea Circus, craft, nature and science activities, workshops and even a medieval village we hope we have something to get everyone involved. On Saturday morning, starting at 9.30, some of our younger villagers will be sweeping the church path, clearing the way, ahead of the wedding taking place in the afternoon.
We thought we’d make this a fun event, and raise some money for the church roof fund at the same time. The kids will be knocking (gently) on local doors and asking (politely) if anyone would care to sponsor them – any pledge will help! Thanks for your support – bring a broom yourself on Saturday if you’re in the mood…….. Russ Payne We are having a small family wedding at St Giles’s on Saturday 20th July at 1.30pm.
We wanted to make villagers aware of the increased traffic on that day. We are bringing most of the guests to the Church by bus and wanted to advise villagers of this as the bus will be taking up some space for a short time that day. We'd also like access, if possible, for the bus to use The Laurels for turning so that there are no vehicles parked at the end of the road at 1.10 (arrival) and again at 3.00-3.30 (departure). Many thanks, Amy and James We have a meeting of the Village Community Fund Group next week. If you have any suggestions, please contact a member of the Committee. Annabelle, Pam, Pauline, Steve & Sylvia.
In the past we have bought new chairs & tables for the Reading Room, a new church carpet, new cutlery & crockery and this year we have had the railings outside repainted and the flower bed replanted. We have also subsidised the Jubilee & Coronation Events held in the Village. If you have a new group you would like to start we are happy to help Fund you to get started. It’s all money you the Village have helped raise, predominantly from The Art weeks Cafe & The Sunday Teas. The only criteria is that the money must be spent within the Village. The Committee The National Trust has confirmed that the works to address missing tiles on the Barn roof will commence on Monday 8th July 2024.
The works will take place around the whole of the roof until all missing tiles have been replaced. There will be some scaffolding going up, which will be moved around the building as works progress. The National Trust plans to do an annual check and replace tiles each summer going forward and invited any queries to the Facilities Manager, Coleshill Estate. Joanna Farrant Clerk to Great Coxwell Parish Council Tel: 079 89 75 1950 Tea and Cake will be on sale on Saturday 13th July, 2.30 – 5.00pm in the vicarage Garden.
In aid of a new Church Roof. Organised by the Friends of St. Giles’ Committee. The final (!) stage of the Stonevale refurb will hopefully be starting soon (early August was promised), this being the complete replacement of the roof of the original house. I will be talking to neighbours personally about access for scaffolding etc, but as before, please let me know if the work causes any issues for anyone in the village. Again, as before I will request radios be kept off (or quiet) and if there are any disputes with the roofers (I can’t imagine it), please come and find me – I am usually around, or leave a phone message.
Thanks for your patience – we are nearly there! Russ Payne 07968-277059. The following documents have been added to the Parish Council Pages here.
