New section for the web site - Where to stay ? - since so many visitors to this web site would like to visit the area we are creating a new section to advertise places to stay - B&B, self-catering and pubs. If you would like to be included please email details to Penny at this web site - provided it's within a few miles of Luxborough or you have a link to the village. Anyone who has details of events PLEASE email me or post on the message board (see menu at left) - like the Parish Magazine, the web site is short on news !

Easter flowers at St Mary's

St Mary's looked especially beautiful in the sunshine this Easter - the churchyard full of celandines and the church full of flowers arranged by the hard-working flower-arrangers of the parish. (Photos by Colin Balkham)
