PLANS FOR EATON BIG WEEKEND 

THURSDAY 23RD JANUARY 2025 

7.00 VILLAGE HALL 

WE NEED YOU!

 

If you haven’t heard about the proposed EATON BIG WEEKEND this meeting is for you. 

Bank Holiday Weekend 23/24/25 August is the date. 

​

This will bring together The Park, The Village Hall, The Church and Incorporate The 100th Eaton Horticultural Show. 

We have a basic idea, but would love to hear YOUR ideas to make this a very special weekend for the village. 

We also need help to run and organise. You don’t have to be a Trustee, or have loads of time. This will be a Village Event for the Villagers – lets maximise our talents. 

​

Come and have your say, ALL ideas are welcome. We can’t do this without you. Any offers of help and support are Welcome. 

We would ask as many Villagers as possible to come and put your thoughts forward. 

A BIG THANK YOU FROM ALL THE TRUSTEES OF THE HALL, PARK AND CHURCH

Friends of St Denys

The Norman church of St. Denys stands proudly on a hill in the centre of the village. It is made of ironstone, locally quarried with its distinctive colour.

The land surrounding Eaton has at least ten known springs and is the source of the River Devon.

 

It is full of sandstone and in the past a large quarry was formed outside the village. The quarry has since become a woodland area.

 

The land is also full of iron ore and was a famous source of iron during the 1800s, supplying two local iron works by rail via 'The Eaton Branch' from around 1885 to 1958. The railway bridge under which the iron was transported is still in Eaton today.​

 

The church in Eaton is Saint Denys Church, a Norman church which dates back to the 12th century.

 

Eaton also has a village hall which was built in 1972 and hosts several events throughout the year including regular pub nights, a horticultural show, quiz nights and various foodie evenings. It also plays host to the annual village Christmas dinner.
