Dig for Victory

The South Warwickshire villages of Cherington, Stourton and Sutton-Under-Brailes are raising the flags and flying bunting. Planning permission has been granted for a new village hall adjacent to the playing field and the residents are celebrating by holding a 'Dig for Victory' event.

People will be welcome to join them to explore some inspiring gardens and allotments and a WWII Harvest Camp. Adding to the atmosphere will be a vintage vehicle display and a Forties Style Tea Room serving delightful refreshments. There are opportunities to 'Make Do and Mend' and plants, produce and preserves will be on sale. Visitors are invited to join the fun by coming along in forties dress. Drivers of vintage or military vehicles can claim a 'ration allowance' for free tee and cake from the 'Assembly Point' at the Village Hall.

This site is maintained by villagers of Oxhill for the benefit of the community and those interested in the history, news and activities that make the village such a pleasant place to live.
