The author Leonard Holder is to visit Fulking on the afternoon of Thursday 29th October and will speak at 2:30pm in the Village Hall about his novel and the local history that underlies it. The heroine of the book is the eponymous Selina Page from whom the author is descended. Selina was the châtelaine of Perching Manor, and the Page family ran Perching Manor Farm from 1857 until 1920 when the Harris family took over.

Holy Trinity Open Meeting
Saturday 17th October, at 10:30am in the church. It is proposed to change the south transept so as to make it a more useful space for both community and church purposes. The plan is to make it warmer, to display the church’s heritage better and to provide a ‘tea-point’. The meeting will provide an opportunity to hear about what is proposed and to express your views. If you cannot come to the meeting but wish to know more and/or to comment, please contact Alan or Caroline Currer at The Rectory (857456).
