| Churches in the Landscape | Proposed | There are more than 30 medieval churches within 10 miles of Odiham. Each has unique features. The proposal is for visits to be made to 2 churches each morning to be followed by an optional lunch at a local pub. One visit will be planned for each month on the 3rd Tuesday of the month. The first will be on the 15th September to Odiham Church at 10:00 followed by Greywell Church, with lunch afterwards at the nearby Fox and Goose. The cost will be £5 per morning (lunch not included) with donations being made to the fabric fund of each church. For more information contact Derek Spruce |
