Beauworth
St James’s Church and the adjoining Village Hall lie at the heart of Beauworth, in which there are some 40 dwellings and The Milbury’s public house. St James’s can seat 40 comfortably (as can the Hall) or up to 70 in less comfort when needs be. About 100 people live in the parish, forming a tight knit and friendly supportive community, with many activities to get involved in which include a quiz evening and suppers.
