Meanwhile Urchfont won the Laurence Kitching Award for the best of 2024's and 2023's winners. Villages were judged on criteria including tidiness, cleanliness, presentation, conservation, and community spirit. Each winning village received a special plaque on an 8ft post, which they will display for a year. "You're tucked away here, it's so pretty, it's so peaceful and you look after it so well," she said. Parish Council chairman Amy Gray thanked "the parish council and volunteers, who put a lot of effort in every year."
