St Mary's Christmas Tree

The children of Glebe and Picklenash created poppy Christmas tree decorations to decorate the Christmas tree at St Marys Church, Newent.  The children chose poppies to commemorate the centenary of the 1st World War.  289 people from Newent fought in wars over the last 100 years and so we placed 289 poppies on the tree!

 

The 2014 Christmas Tree Festival raised over £1500 for the Restoration Fund but also gave pleasure to the many many visitors.
