REGENERATION The DVD – This is a record of St Nicholas Church, Radford Semele from the 12th Century to the present. It covers early history, archive film and photographs, including the disastrous fire of March 2008 and the events that followed. The film will culminate in the celebration of the reopening of the church after its restoration.

It will be a lasting record of the church’s place in the life of the village. The DVD will be available immediately after the reopening of the church.  All proceeds from the sale of the DVD will go to the Restoration Fund.

If you would like to be informed when the DVD is available, please contact James Fleuty (883708) or Alan Jones (334443).
