Site Map
A Site Map has been added to assist with navigation through this web site.
The Heritage Project parts of the village website are becoming extensive and whilst you can navigate around the site using the menus, it can sometimes be difficult to remember how you got to a particular page you saw previously.
A new button has now been added to the bottom of the Main Menu, which appears at the left of most pages of the site. Clicking on this [Site Map] button will open a page with direct links to all of the pages of the web site, and may thus jog your memory of which page you want.
