Heritage Open Day: The Friends of St John, Parson Drove and The John Peck Society invite you to celebrate the heritage of John Peck, 19th century resident of Parson Drove, and the history of the village, as we explore connections and networks throughout the fens. A weekend of events celebrating the history of John Peck, his life in Parson Drove and beyond, and the history of the village from the very early settlement up to the present day. We will explore his renowned diaries which tell us so much about life in the fens in the 1800s. Displays and speakers at St Johns Church covering the long history of this amazing village.
