Fritillary Sunday

Fritillary Sunday is an annual event in Ducklington near Witney and is a fund raising day for the church when the 10 acre meadow near St Bartholemew's Church that grows the Snakeshead Fritillary is open.

The 2008 event is due to take place on April 20th from 11.30 to 5.00pm.

Lots to do and see in addition to the fritillaries in the field. Ploughman's lunches (at lunchtime!) and teas in the village hall. from 11:30am.

St Bartholemew's Church, Ducklington   Details should be confirmed as they are likely to change each year, but there is usually a plant stall and cream teas. The Church also refers to the importance of the fritillary in carvings, a stained glass window and embroidery on the altar cloth and kneelers.

The Snake's Head Fritillary has geen adopted as the emblem for Oxfordshire. Oxfordshire is one of the only places where the Fritillary can be seen in abundance and thrives in damp pastures like the field near Ducklington Church, and Magdalen Meadow and Iffley Meadow in Oxford.

Every year people go to the meadow in Ducklington and raise money for the church and Ducklington Village Hall.
