Parish News
The Parish News magazine contains information and news from and about the parishes of Gestingthorpe, Pebmarsh and Great & Little Maplestead.
There are ten issues per year, one a month with a double month issue for December & January and July & August.
The Parish News is delivered free to all residents of the four Parishes with the cost of publication covered by local business advertising. Deliveries are made by volunteers, and new volunteers are always welcome.
Advertising rates and copy deadlines can be found in the magazine.
Articles/information and photographs for inclusion in future issues can be sent by e-mail either direct to the Parish News Editorial Team or to your Village Representative.
Deliveries are made by volunteers at the beginning of each month. If you are not receiving your copy of the magazine, please email here.
