Following the failure of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, King James I introduced the ‘Observance of 5th November Act’, an enforced annual public day of thanksgiving. Despite being repealed in 1859, the celebration has continued with enthusiasm throughout the UK. So last night – exactly 414 years after the failed plot – Ingram Village celebrated in its own community-centred style at Ingram Village Hall.
You are cordially invited to gather at the Breamish Valley War Memorial in the Powburn Community Garden at 10:50am in preparation for a brief wreath-laying at the foot of the memorial.
