The previous post on this blog was a birthday blog for the 300th anniversary of the birth of Robert Bakewell, agriculturalist of Dishley. When I wrote the blog, I hadn’t had the pleasure of attending any celebratory events (apart from a very informative and interesting talk a few weeks earlier).
To mark the anniversary, there was a lovely service held at Dishley church, led by the Reverend Tim Day, vicar of Thorpe Acre church, Thorpe Acre church being the church which was built to replace the one at Dishley, around 1845, and designed by architect, William Railton.
Amongst the people who congregated for the service were many local people, and children from the Robert Bakewell School. It was a gloriously sunny day – perhaps a bit too sunny, so a few of us sought out the shade!
A buffet lunch was held at Thorpe Acre church, where there were some superb information boards relating to Robert Bakewell, produced and exhibited by the New Dishley Society, and a celebratory cake!!
It's been quite a few years since I've been to Dishley church, so it was lovely to visit again. Here are some photos from the celebratory service.
