75th Anniversary of VE Day

Updated: Sep 23, 2020

So much for all the planned street parties and special church services - but in the blitz spirit of lockdown, Middle Barton made it special anyway!


Peter Meadowcroft provided appropriate music via his float (see video) and numerous talented villagers made scarecrows - including one of 100-year-old "Captain Tom", which delighted many of us in view of his amazing NHS Fundraising stint.


If anyone would like their favourite scarecrow photo added to this gallery, do please let us know!
