Members’ paintings, in a variety of media, and covering a wide range of subjects were on show at the village hall.

One of the organisers Elaine Bedford said: “The event was felt to have been a success with a steady stream of visitors throughout the bank holiday.

“The exhibition was, as usual, split into two parts with the main exhibition, featuring 137 painting, in the village hall and a further selection, both framed and unframed, on sale in St Peter’s Church.”
