VISITORS to Howe Bridge Parish Church are being invited to take a trip down memory lane.

Historian Richard Sivill has put together an exhibition of villagers' best recollections for the church's open and gift day this Saturday.

The display is the brainchild of the Howe Bridge author whose latest book features the church's stained glass windows. He invited past and present villagers to send him a paragraph on their most interesting memory of school, church, choir or the uniformed organisations.

Both the church and school archives will be on display in the church and there will be mini-lectures in the chancel at 11.30am and 2.15pm.

The display will be open between 11am and 3pm and though there is no admission charge donations will be welcome.
