This afternoon Great Witley Church Stewards group had a get-together in the village hall, the main item being a very interesting talk by Derek Clarke on the project to restore the Poseidon fountain at Witley Court to working order, together with the reinstatement of the south parterre garden features. Derek was the architect for this major work which commenced some twenty-odd years ago, and has now resulted in this magnificent spectacle operating regularly for the public to enjoy. After a short interval for refreshments, the chairman of the church restoration committee, Simon Lees-Milne, gave the audience an update on the progress of various happenings at the church in the near future. Many thanks go to the speaker and his wife Edna, and to Roger Perkins and his wife Linda for organising the event and for providing the facilities.
