Easter Monday was a very special day in Cattistock. To celebrate the occasion the village volunteers baked cakes and savouries which were bagged up, with an Easter card, and were distributed to every household in the village.  The bags were delivered by the children, who had also drawn the cards.  Please click here for many lovely photos and a write up.
