SOME of Winscombe’s finest arts and crafts were on show at an event celebrating the bicentenary of non-conformist Christianity in the village.

Audrey Morris, Anne Banks, David Hares and minister Mary Burgess.

The event and photo display was held in the Lynch Chapel on Saturday as part of a weekend of events marking the 200th anniversary since permission was granted for Peter Pim’s home to be used as a licensed place for worship. The chapel in The Lynch was established, initially as the Union Chapel, in 1827.

There was also a praise and worship session and celebratory meal on Saturday, before a special service on Sunday.
