Here’s July’s Herald.
As you will have undoubtedly seen Anglian Water has chosen Honey Hill to build its new sewage works. A sewage works as large as Horningsea right outside our village. The Phase 2 consultation began on the 23rd of June until the 18th August. This is primarily about mitigation – about having your say regarding issues such as positioning, traffic, lighting (at night), noise pollution, odour, design, screening, impact on wildlife and environment and so much more.
Visit the Save Honey Hill website to find out more about their plans with links to Anglian Water’s documentation.
Finally on a far lighter note, here’s another photo of Keith’s owl boxes around Horningsea. This barn owl photo was taken by Geoff Oliver.

Here’s June’s Horningsea Herald.
What a wonderful village we have (especially when it’s sunny and not raining). We now have the Horningsea Motorcycle Club (HMC) and a brand new playground. Well done to all those who contributed to the rides and the slides!

Congratulations also to everybody who participated in the Short Story competition. The winners are listed inside.

There’s a report from the Church wardens with information on becoming a Friend of St Peter’s Church.
..and it’s Love Your Burial Ground/Churches Count on Nature Week from the 5th – 13 June at St Peter’s Church. St Peter’s Church and the Friends of Horningsea Church have signed up to take part in the national “Churches Count on Nature week”. The idea is to see how much wildlife we can find in our church yard. The national organisers have described churchyards as part of the largest “National Park” in the country.
Here’s to a sunny and social summer.
At St Peter’s Church Horningsea:
Love Your Burial Ground/Churches Count on Nature Week: 5 – 13 June 2021
Join in with the Friends of Horningsea Church and take part in the national “Churches Count on Nature” week. The idea is to see how much wildlife we can find in our churchyard.
The national organisers have described churchyards as part of the largest “National Park” in the country. If you have an odd half hour at any time during the week from Saturday 5 to Sunday 13 June please go along to the Church and collect a “log sheet” from the porch to record what you can see.
You can look for birds, insects (ants? spiders? bees/ butterflies? moths?), flowers, fungi, mammals (hedgehogs? foxes? bats?). Try going at different times of day as it will be interesting to see what can be found early in the morning or late at night. In the porch you will find some I-Spy books and leaflets to help identify what you find.
On Sunday 13 June from 2pm:
An afternoon exploring the churchyard together, hopefully with a Zoology student to help identify the species we see. Botanists, birdwatchers … are all encouraged to come along. We hope to restart the Bug Hotel building – perhaps some bugs have taken residence in the wood we left in the churchyard 18 months ago.
Look forward to seeing you then…
