Great Gidding School is holding its Summer Fete on Saturday 7th July from 12pm onwards. There will be fun things to see and do, as well as lots of food to eat. Please drop by the school if you get a chance and it isn’t raining too hard!
Welcome to The Great Gidding Close up Quiz.
If you lived in the village at the time of the Golden Jubilee celebration in 2002 you will recall that we offered a paper based quiz that asked you to identify close up photographs of certain locations around the Parish of Great Gidding. This is an updated version to accommodate the computer and smart phone generation. You may be able to guess some locations from the comfort of your seat in front of the computer but a walk round the village will nail the difficult locations and keep your eyes open when travelling out towards the parish boundaries. All the photographs are taken from public areas. Google Street View may help in some cases.
How to enter – Identify where or what the photograph is, either by house number or descriptive location. The closer the better. When you have identified as many locations as you can fill in the comments box at the foot of this page using a 1,2,3 order and send it in.
The quiz will run until 1pm on Saturday the 23rd June. The winner will be announced at the Mid Summer Picnic on the following day. A wider view photograph will also be posted with location text after this date.
A modest prize will be awarded to the most accurate entry.
Good luck

Our Christingle service in December was a great success – lots of children came along to the Christingle-making session at the school beforehand, and then Mary welcomed us at the gate through to the churchyard and we all went up to the service.
Led by Mary, the service was fun (complete with captivating Canadian wolf story and plenty of howling…!) and thought-provoking at the same time, and when the children stood at the front of the church with their lit Christingles it really did look magical.
It was lovely to see so many people there, and great to see some new faces. Thank you all for coming, and hope to see you next year!
