The full shape of Over the Top became visible for the first time yesterday on the floor of All Saints Church. It’s going to be an striking memorial from North Baddesley to the loss and waste of WWI.

Thank you to everyone for the amazing pile of donations this Harvest time.

Over the Top will formally launch in the afternoon of 4th November 2018. Come and see the cascade at its best - enjoy refreshments and a doughnut. Throughout ‘Over the Top’ the poppy cascade that forms North Baddesley’s tribute to the end of WWI, there will be an exhibition in the church, asking the question: What would happen if we went ‘Over the Top’ Into Perfect Peace?

Ancient graffiti in St John the Baptist shows how connected villagers were with the need for God’s protection in medieval times.

Over the Top: the North Baddesley project to knit poppies for a cascade down the tower at St John the Baptist saw the 2000th poppy donated this week. It’s going to be a spectacular way of commemorating the end of WWI. Thank you so much to everyone who is helping,
