Weobley's own Damien Hirst

Weobley’s answer to Damien Hirst, Peter Lippitt, beside his Exhibition entry “Recycling the Rotherwas Ribbon or Sad, the Covering of the Rotherwas Ribbon”. Peter describes this piece, in cork and tin, as “Consenusal Art” which uses material to explain a situation. The situation is well known to Herefordians, and it reflects his anger at the lack of foresite in preserving the 3,000 year old Rotherwas Ribbon that could potentially be a huge attraction for tourists from all over the world. The Ribbon find was described by Archaeologist, Dr Keith Ray, as a very exciting find not just for Herefordshire, and not just the UK, but, it is apparently unique in Europe.


Peter’s work is on sale for £125 at the Weobley Art Exhibition over the August Bank Holiday, together with 346 other works of art and craft.

The 23rd Annual Art Exhibition - August Bank Holiday 2008

The Art Exhibition was a great success once more, raising just under £2,000 for FOWPC funds. 537 people visited the exhibition, more than in any previous year, so it is clear that our reputation for staging an interesting and affordable exhibition is growing.



The village hall looked marvellous with its newly painted ceiling and chandeliers and this added to the overall impression of light and space. The floral decorations created by Norman Skyrme were spectacular and the new innovation of offering a light lunch went down very well with visitors and helpers alike.



Membership of the Friends of Weobley Parish Church is for everyone who is concerned to preserve the church building. No Friends’ money is spent on religious matters. Last year the Friends donated over £69,000 on much needed repairs to the church.



If you would like to join the Friends and make a regular contribution, telephone Julie Peacock on 01544 318322.
