Preserving our heritage for future generations
Moonrakers - Folk and Fizz!
It was so wonderful to welcome professional folk ensemble, Moonrakers, back to the village with a brand new programme - Magic, Myth and Mystery. We enjoyed songs we knew, and some new material, played by the Celtic harp, cello, fretted instruments, keyboard, flutes, with female and male vocals. It was wonderful to hear this new programme, with such interesting storytelling exploring hidden superstitions, folklore, and intriguing tales, woven through the roots music.
A Worthy Cause: Please support us to help preserve this ancient church
In the centre of the vibrant village of Chalfont St. Giles is the beautiful Church. It dates from about 1150 and houses wall paintings from the early 14th century, 16th century brasses, a locally made clock and much more. It's a place of worship and community - a place for weddings, baptisms and contemplation. The Friends help to support the preservation of the fabric of the church, its art and ornaments, environs and heritage.
