Our Community: Introduction

Although the village center is quite small, Dilwyn as a parish is very large and widespread. Because of this, the village's four main institutions play an important role in community life of about 760 inhabitants. They are the church, school and community hall as described below. Another important link for the community is the Dilwynner , the parish magazine, which is produced and distributed free of charge every month. The volunteer editor, collators and distributors of the magazine epitomise the community spirit so prevalent in the parish. Whatever the event or orgainisation, Dilwyn parishioners involve themselves to the fullest extent. Many nearby villages lay claim to be the jewel in the crown of the black and white villages but Dilwynners know which is the true gemstone of these communities.
