Welcome to Buriton

We are extremely fortunate, in this Diamond Jubilee year, to have the Royal Correspondent of one of our National Newspapers living in the parish. At the autumn meeting of the Buriton Village Association, Richard Palmer will give an insight into his work - and a 'behind the scenes' look at many of the Royal events taking place during 2012.

300 years ago - on this very day - the steeple on Buriton Church was struck by lightening and burnt down. Our team of bell-ringers will be ringing the bells to mark this anniversary. They will also be giving demonstrations and providing parishioners with an opportunity to have a go.

Rogue traders are reportedly cold calling in parts of Hampshire claiming that residents need to replace their TV aerial in order to receive digital TV signals.

Children, parents, helpers and friends of Buriton Nursery School took part in a 'Sponsored Toddle' on Friday 24th February on the Village Recreation Ground - and raised over ?200 !

As a unique souvenir of Jubilee Year, a special full-colour hardback book is being produced to record activities in the parish during the year. A free copy of the book will be available for every household - early in 2013. But - your help is needed.
