Berkswell Church’s first ever Poppy Cascade received part-funding from Berkswell Charities.

The Cascade has been an ambitious project involving nearly 100 people across the village and nearby Balsall Common. Children from Berkswell School and Junior Church also made contributions.

Over 4,800 woollen poppies were either knitted or crocheted and then attached to mesh netting by a team of volunteers working tirelessly over the summer months.

The Cascade was finished at the end of October and has been hung on the south side of the Church tower to commemorate the Season of Remembrance and will remain in place until the end of November.

It is hoped that the cascade can be hung again for at least five years.
