We have been asked by Sarah Sartain, Friends of the Soldiers of Shropshire Museum, who organises Talks at the Castle, if we could promote their Autumn Winter Programme. The flyers below give more information and there is an eclectic programme of speakers which may be of interest to you.
This year’s Ride & Stride is on Saturday the 13th September. It is a National Event organised by the National Churches Trust, and the Shropshire Historic Churches Trust, have been pleased to take part each year.
St Peter’s Adderley will be open from 11am to 4pm with refreshments. Come and have a look around our historic church. If you are feeling energetic please take part, see website for more information https://ridestride.org
Following the excellent response to the community survey we continue to progress with the redevelopment project.
IT’S HAPPENING
We have taken on board a number of very constructive points, some long term regarding the plans, and some which we can act on immediately
WE’RE LISTENING
Firstly, we have developed an Adderley Community WhatsApp.
It is a “one direction” WhatsApp which will allow us to send messages about anything going on in the village and important updates on all projects.
It does not allow return of conversation, so will not be full of chat, just interesting and appropriate community messages straight to your phone.
IT’S BRILLIANT
It is facilitated by using a QR code, which means we do not need to retain any mobile numbers, so there are no GDPR issues to be concerned about.
IT’S SAFE
Secondly, we are organising regular events in the village, for example weekly quizzes, monthly coffee mornings and a village get together on 13th September.
IT’S EXCITING
All information will be sent in a very simple message on the Adderley Village Community WhatsApp, so follow the QR code to register.
IT’S EASY
The actual redevelopment is in the stage of creating a business plan and investigating funding. We need to bring together a small group of people to represent all parts of the community.
IT’S IMPORTANT.
If you can help in any way, please contact

We’re Building Your Community, Be Part Of It
We are so lucky that Geoff Butter saved this wonderful scrap book which was compiled by our village WI members in 1965. It gives us a real snapshot of life in each calendar month in the village as well as nationally. What a treasure!
And now, thanks to our volunteer Pete Bruty, this treasure is uploaded onto the Adderley Heritage website for you to enjoy as well. Go and have a look. Some of you will remember people who are in the photographs, or, who knows, you might find one of a younger you!!
Go to Adderleyheritage.co.uk Go to the Search box and type in Scrap Book WI and all will be revealed. Such a treasure trove…….. If you then want to look at a broader range of images type in Adderley WI and you will find images and articles created over the years by people in our community.
If there is information that you can add or something you would like to correct on any page please let us know
It may not seem like a big deal if that balloon flies away, (unless you’re a toddler, then its the end of the world). It may seem like a lovely idea to release one in remembrance of someone, and an even better one to release lots of them to celebrate a special occasion….. BUT DON’T!!
They can kill or maim livestock and wildlife, by choking, trapping or strangling and swallowing one can lead to a slow and painful death. Vets bills to operate on a cow to remove such blockages are astronomical.
A number of balloons have just been found on a farm in Adderley, one of which had been partially eaten by livestock. We are asking you to do two things:

Thanks to the work of dedicated volunteers and in particular, Peter Bruty, we have been able to edit and upload some amazing new images for you to enjoy on the Adderley Heritage Website.
Amongst other things there are some priceless images of every single page of the Autograph Books kept at Raven House during and after the 1914/18 First World War when it was a convalescent hospital for injured soldiers, and subsequently the Edith Cavell Rest homes for nurses.
Some of the stories, messages and poetry in this book will give you cause to reflect, bring a tear to your eye or just appreciate the capturing of such a treasured part of Adderley History. Follow this link http://www.adderleyheritage.co.uk Go to Search and type in Raven House or Notes from soldiers and you will be rewarded with hours of beautiful images to peruse. Go and enjoy and tell us what you think or if it triggers any memories shared by relatives who lived in that time.
Originals of these images will all be kept at Shropshire Archive to preserve them, they are very precious and delicate.
