WELL DRESSINGS: vary from year to year. Maps can be obtained from attendants at the well dressings, and from various shops. In 2008, there were 9:

• in the yard of the Methodist Church on Wood Street
• 2 in the Memorial Gardens, next to the village hall
• a large dressing made up of a number of individual small panels at Dip's Place, on the east side of St John's Street between the Memorial Gardens and the cruck cottage
• 2 outside the old cruck cottage on St John's Street
• in the courtyard near the churchyard, behind the buildings on St John's Street
• inside the Parish Church. This dressing was additional to those shown on the maps for 2008
• in the Market Place

WELL IN THE MAKING: the Methodist Church dressings are made in the Methodist Church Community Room during the preceding few days.
