"Our winning scarecrow was the Gruffalo, which operated and flashed as you approached it.

"I think some people had a lot of time on their hands to perfect their scarecrows throughout lockdown.

"We've raised £1,500 for the village fund which is much needed during these difficult times.

"It is our first event since 2018 and it is the right time to host it again as we come out of the pandemic.

"I just want to say that the village hall committee really pulled it all together this year and the full results can be seen in the village hall window."
