The church was filled with scarecrows and flowers, co-ordinated by parishioner Robbie Mann with help from Sue Logan, Ann Nixon and other villagers.

There were 24 displays on a variety of themes with money raised going towards the £55,000 needed for toilets and servery facilities within the church.

There were themes of autumn, hedgerows, farming, the Post Office, the NHS and local ladies groups the Willoughby Wisps and the Mulberry Quilters. There was even a 100-year-old beehive. A service and concert on Friday saw items donated to Sleaford food bank.
