The Sexton’s Charity was established by Frank Wheeler in 1995. He had inherited from Christopher Brough the role of co-ordinating the maintenance of the churchyard. Funds were raised through events including concerts and an annual art sale in the Village Hall.

This section contains a letter to the Countryside Service of Hampshire County Council, describing the establishment of the Charity and its purpose, and notices of fund-raising events.

In June 2013, Frank and Jenny Wheeler recorded an Oral History interview with Michael Blakstad, and the section relating to the Sexton’s Charity is attached as a PDF.
