This year, as usual, there will be lilies in the church in memory of loved ones and their names will be read out at the service on Easter Sunday. The cost for a lily is £5 but there is no need to pay individually for each person you wish to remember. There will be a list on the table at the back of the church so do please add your request and £5 and then even if you are not able to attend the service you will know that the names of those whom you have lost will be remembered.

Dallington’s War 1939 to 1945

On Sunday 31st August 2025 all are welcome to attend an afternoon of personal memories, family anecdotes and historical details regarding how Dallington was affected by World War Two.  The event will be held in the afternoon in St Giles Church – where on 3rd September 1939, villagers gathered to hear the radio broadcast announcement that Britain was now at war – and will be followed by a cream tea.

The reason for the early advertising is to give us plenty of time to gather as much information as possible. We would love to hear of any war-time stories covering such subjects as evacuees, school life, farming changes, the war in the skies, troops billeted in the parish, the Home Guard, rationing, local entertainment and any other wartime topic that will be of interest to the residents of Dallington.

If you think you might be able to help please give Roy Iremonger a call on 01323 832627 or email [email protected].
