Happy to hear your Coronation plans. I sent the King info about the visits of King Charles 1st to Little Gidding. Hope some day Charles III will visit Little Gidding too. Wish I could be with you! Dr Charles W Spurgeon, a Friend of Little Gidding
We had a really fun evening at the coronation quiz in the fox and hounds last night. It was a very enjoyable event to start our community’s weekend of celebration to mark the coronation. Many thanks to all who were involved in the organisation and running of the evening, especially all the team in the pub and Callum the caller. Oh and congratulations to the winning team, much deserved champions!
