Welcome to Buriton

Rangers from the Queen Elizabeth Country Park enthralled local families with insights into a wide range of plants, butterflies and creep-crawlies in the Nature Reserve.

In her incredibly well-researched talk in Buriton in June, Alison Wilcox explained how the introduction of conscription in 1916 led to some significant opposition and, in some cases, imprisonment.

The latest instalment of this community project reveals the roles played by Buriton men during April, May and June 1917 as well as describing what life was like at home in the parish at that time.

In the Seward Room at St Mary’s Church: from 3pm to 6pm.

Eighteen willing volunteers helped cut back areas of overgrown scrub and brambles in The Links on Sunday 14 May to improve the appearance of Buriton’s secret valley and help local farmer, Susan Shone.
