2005 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of 'BB' (Denys Watkins-Pitchford), famous writer and artist who once lived in Welford. A new web page on this site has more information about him and his works.

Neighbourhood Watch

Neighbourhood Watch is active again in the village after an absence of about four years.

Coordinated by Stu Newton on 575484 or wnw@tesco.com, this is a follow-up to the flyer from Daventry Police in April this year and the programme is now looking for supporters and volunteers for the various areas and streets of the village. Contact details have been added to the various web pages and we will open a new web page for the project in the near future.
