The History of Bread: Why it is important today: 20 February, Haslingfield Village Hall

A talk by Pete Spence: resident of Haslingfield, a husband and father. His day job is a project manager in the aerospace industry, but his real passion is bread making. Pete will speak about where bread was originated and in what forms across the world throughout history. He will discuss how industrialisation changed bread for the worse.  His talk will touch on bread making techniques, the gut microbiome, and how we can stand up against giant conglomerates in the food industry. Haslingfield Village Society. Tuesday, 20th February, 8.00pm, Haslingfield Village Hall  

All welcome.  Members and youngsters 16 and under are free.  £2.50 visitors, which includes refreshments

Haslingfield Neighbourhood Plan – We’re On Our Way!

Creating a Neighbourhood Plan is a long process – usually 2 years or more. The first step is to collect info – about our homes, our green spaces, our businesses and amenities, and of course about our people! But more important than that, we needed to collect info about what our community wants to protect and improve in our planned environment.

So Haslingfield’s Neighbourhood Plan Steering Committee is delighted that more than 150 residents took the time to fill in our first survey, which closed on 31 December – a fantastic response! Read more

All Saints Church restoration and redecoration January 2024

Thanks to the generous contributions and legacies from villagers and from our congregation, All Saints’ Church is able to start the first phase of high level restoration work in the Nave.

This means that Sunday services will take place in the chancel and sadly the church will not be open to the public from January 8th until Easter. We hope to leave the North porch open for private prayer.

Entrance to the chancel at other times can be prearranged with the vicar or the churchwardens if they are available. Read more

Neighbourhood Plan Survey – Deadline 31 December

Haslingfield has officially started the process of creating a Neighbourhood Plan. With a good plan in place we can have much more say over protecting our green spaces and choosing the kinds of housing that is built in our village. But in order to put a plan in place, the volunteers creating the plan have to demonstrate that we’ve consulted with residents of all ages – not just households, but as many residents as possible.
