‘HERITAGE OPEN DAYS AT CALDECOTE’
Saturday SEPTEMBER 10th and Sunday SEPTEMBER 11th

 Once again, the mediaeval Church of St. Mary Magdalene at Caldecote, near Baldock – will open its doors to welcome the public for the Heritage Open Days organised by the Civic Trust. The church was a place of regular worship for 700 years before being declared redundant in1971. It is a hidden historical gem in the Hertfordshire countryside.
The event is co-ordinated by Caldecote Church Friends, ably supported by volunteer helpers. Entrance is free.

In 2010 over 250 visitors browsed round the church, armed with the ‘Visitors’ Guide’ booklet produced by the Friends.
This year, they will also have the chance to purchase a recently-published ‘History of Caldecote to 1600’ describing the mediaeval village, written by Professor Christopher Dyer of Leicester University.
After viewing the church, the visitors can sit outside and enjoy tea and scrumptious scones with cream and jam. There will also be a ‘bring and buy’ sale.
A thoroughly relaxing and sociable afternoon out for visitors, which hopefully will produce a profit for the church restoration fund – repairs are still needed!
