Hempstead Village Church - Helen PhilipHempstead is a small historic village situated seven miles east of Saffron Walden in the north-west corner of Essex. The notorious highwayman Dick Turpin was born in theThe Bluebell Inn from Church Hill - Joseph Kitchen village public house.

ASTRONOMY CLUB
Did that catch your eye - well the village website provides the opportunity for an on-line Club such as Astronomy or other topics where actual regular meetings or booking the Hall may be impractical. Is there something you would like to create or run? Would some of our youngsters like to start an online Club? Please contact me if you have an idea. Diana Frost
