The church will be decorated by members of the village community with the theme ‘garden flowers’.

There are a host of other events also planned on Saturday and Sunday to celebrate including a village drinks party, a celebration service on Sunday attended by the Archdeacon of Horsham, Fiona Windsor, and a celebration service for Duncton school. Pupils are pictured here last year inspecting the 14th century church bell which was restored and reinstalled in the bell tower.
