Welcome to our free Village website.
Whether resident, visitor or Ex-pat...
 Here you can share and find information about all aspects of our village life both past and present!
 

 

As you might imagine, this website is all done on the kitchen table as it were, using my free ISP webspace, with no fees, sponsors, posh facilities or fancy web designer costs ! 
It is updated on an irregular basis 'As and when' your contributions arrive and when I've got time!!  Which is why
I am able to  publish it free of any charges!  You could say its another of my hobbies! 

But to keep it interesting I need your input! 

If you you don't tell me! I dont know!  more..

It would be good to see more of our own East Brent parish and village events and news here on the front page!
