Churches in some Rutland and Stamford villages are benefiting from open gardens today.
In Manton a garden on Lyndon Road will help raise funds for Saint Mary's Fabric fund. Parts of the church date back to the 13th century. Five gardens in Wilsthorpe will help support a younger 300 year old St Faith's church, meanwhile, as well as Dementia UK. Full details of both openings are on the Rutland and Stamford Sound website events pages.
