Meet at the Vicarage at 5pm SHARP on the 5th January every year, bringing with you something (eg saucepan and wooden spoon) with which to help create the Great Commotion. We'll drink mulled cider and 'toast' the apple trees. Afterwards we share mulled cider and apple juice as well as Epiphany cakes from around the world in the Vicarage.

Minterne Magna: St Andrew

The small late medieval church of St. Andrew has an early 17th century north chapel and a tower from around 1800, heightened when the whole church was later restored. Due to its proximity to the big house, there are a number of interesting memorials. The magnificent Napier memorial is in the north aisle. The earliest known monuments of the Churchill family (including a 17thC Winston) are in the nave aisle by the chancel step. On the north wall is a monument to the younger brother of the Churchill for whom a grateful nation built Blenheim Palace. On the south wall is a memorial to Henry Digby, who commanded the HMS Africa at the Battle of Trafalgar.
