CELEBRATION THE BIRTHDAY OF KATE GREENAWAY

(17TH MARCH 1846 )

​

​

An amazing afternoon was had by all, with over 120 visitors coming to the Church to enjoy an afternoon tea provided by the Kate Greenaway Action Group.

​

There was a fantastic display about Kate Greenaway and her association with Rolleston that everyone found really informative and the Kate Greenaway Singers entertained with songs from Kate's era.

​

Money raised will go to provide more artwork around the village.

​

Plans are to hold a similar event next year
