Millicent’s great, great niece was Minty Day. Minty was a member of Over Peover WI and over the years Minty has been President, Vice President, Secretary and committee member of Over Peover WI but never Treasurer.

It is with great sadness that we let you know that Minty died last week and her Remembrance Service will be at St John’s Church, Chelford on Thursday 22 February at 12.00 noon
We have been asked by Minty’s family to pass on the message that, due to very restricted parking at the church, people should park at Chelford Village Hall from where a mini bus will transport you to the church, and back after the service.
