We don’t just make Scarecrows in our village.

👑 The Urchfont Crown has been unveiled in all its glory! 👑

In keeping with the King's wish to create a greener environment, the crown has been created from cuttings donated by people living in the village and from local hedgerows

Some more scarecrows from the weekend’s Urchfont Scarecrow Festival - themed ‘The West Country’. Can you guess who they represent?

Well done to all the makers & volunteers, and thanks to our visitors who helped raise funds for local causes including the amazing @WiltsAirAmbu
