VJ Day Commemoration
Whilst VE Day (Victory in Europe) marked the end of the war in Europe in May 1945, it is sometimes forgotten that many thousands of Armed Forces personnel were still engaged in fighting in the Far East. Victory over Japan would come at a heavy price.

The village on Active Service
When the Church of St. Stephen’s in East Hardwick was being rewired in 2008, a skip was required to help with the disposal of the extensive amount of old cabling, ducting pipe etc. At the same time a general clean up in the church provided further items to be thrown into the skip.
