In recognition of the forthcoming celebrations for the Coronation of King Charles III, the Friends of Shrewton School (FOSS) parents association, organised a scarecrow trail. Members of the Village Matters group created a scarecrow with an uncanny resemblance to our future King as he tries to escape from the Blind House.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Platinum Jubilee - June 2022
The national celebrations to commemorate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, took place during June 2022.
To commemorate Her Majesty's Jubilee, Shrewton & District WI decided to plant a tree but the Summer was not a good time as most of the country was in a state of drought.The tree, a flowering cherry 'Pink Perfection', was ordered and plans were made to do the planting at a later date.
Tuesday 22nd November 2022 was the day chosen and members were asked to meet on the grass at Meadway to witness Jean and Dianne carrying out the planting.
A toast was made and the tree now stands, with its plaque, as a beautiful reminder of the seventy year reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II .
