Memorial Service

The church was full with the family and friends on August 9th for the Memorial Service for Andrew Mercer who had died earlier in the year. Andrew was born at Manor Farm and spent his early years in the village before joining the Army, where he had a distinguished career, winning the Military Cross. He was the only member of the Forces from the village to be wounded, losing part of his leg in a tank attack. He and his family later moved to Kenya and then America.
