Deddington’s African visitors

From Buckingham Palace to barn dances, visitors from the Church of the Resurrection, Mmabatho, South Africa (above), found the warmest welcome during their recent stay in Deddington.

The guests taught the village school children African songs, and learned something of English farming from George Fenemore and his son Christopher. Villagers also heard about the new Day Centre for orphans (mostly from HIV/AIDS families, which the Mmabatho church runs and for which Deddington raises funds.
