FLOWERS and art crammed every corner of Ellingham Parish Church near Ringwood at the weekend as the church celebrated its 850th anniversary with a festival.

The festival of art and flowers attracted lots of visitors to the historic church for the three-day event.

Artwork by Suzanne Houching, Christine Coney and Lindsey Cole a family photograph of the Lisle family crest from Lord Normanton and works by Doreen Fenner, Doe Brown and pupils from Moyles Court School graced the walls, while flower arrangements from villagers filled each nook and cranny of the church.

Along with the displays, cream teas were served and organ recitals were performed.
