The community of Prickwillow joined together to enjoy an evening of harvest supper, history and celebration.

More than 40 parishioners from Prickwillow visited the village hall for a a harvest supper of baked potatoes, curried vegetables and beans and apple crumble and cream.

Chris Jakes gave a "fascinating" talk about the village of Prickwillow, with historical facts and details from the early 1700s up to the 1960s.

A new plaque was unveiled at the harvest supper, dedicated to those killed in a plane crash in 1945.
