Despite being a little last minute this year, we were really pleased to receive more fantastic entries for this year’s photo competition! They were all wonderful shots, with the beautiful parks and woods around Murrell Hill Lane/Amen Corner being a popular subject!

It was a tough job to pick the winners, but 13 excellent images have been selected which best reflect well-known countryside, places and landmarks around our village:

  • January: Cottage on Murrell Hill Lane, Steve Friend
  • February: Stubbs Hill, Tania Chizlett
  • March: Blossom on the Path to Pocket Copse, Sandie Harvey
  • April: ‘Secret Park’ Tree in Jubilee Fields, Janine Wetherall
  • May: Entrance to Popes Meadow, Alexandra Bartlam
  • June: Summer Meadow, Amandine Painton
  • July: Piglittle Field, Garry Glover
  • August: York Road Playground from the tunnel, Lily Alltree (aged 10)
  • September: Horse field on Murrell Hill Lane, Nicola Weaving
  • October: Autumnal Binfield Scene, Tania Chizlett
  • November: Remembrance at All Saints’, Garry Glover
  • December: Forest Road in the snow, Keith Wilson

Our front cover is of one of our beautiful Binfield trees – this one was captured by Amandine Painton in the field opposite the Stag and Hounds.
