On 10th September, St. Cedma’s Parish Church will also host one such free event. The public can also learn a little more about the building’s background. It is open from 12:30pm to 6pm, on Sunday, to visitors, to explore the history of the graveyard, enjoy the architecture and the interiors. The quilting group of St. Cedma, Parish Piecemakers will also display their patchwork and quilting.
