‘Popular music through the decades - 50s, 60s, 70s’ is the theme of Heath well dressing and scarecrow competition.

During well dressing week it has become a tradition for villagers to display home-made scarecrows in their gardens.

A flower festival is also held in All Saint's Church, which will be open from 11am - 6pm, until Saturday, July 25.

Photographer Nick Rhodes captured this year’s blessing service.
