The website is endorsed by the Wrawby PCC. The domain name wrawby.org.uk originally was registered in 2000 by Andy Whitaker and Richard Rooker, and transferred to these web servers the following year, managed by a different Richard. The website is not funded nor in receipt of external financial support.
394 Internet pages have been published on wrawby.org.uk since Wrawby News first came to these web servers in 2002.
The website was hijacked June, 2007 and a lot of data was lost.
The Internet department backs up every few days but we encountered some trouble recovering Wrawby data (we can't find the disks!)
Hence, there is limited access to about one-third of Wrawby back issues until we sort things out. Let us know if you want an alert when all material from the last five or six years is available online. We might even be able to motivate the print magazine Editors to let us have all back copies from Wrawby News inception: 1994.
The Wrawby Internet project is a simple html construct, not Blog or Content Management System software.
The Wrawby News started life in 1994 as the Wrawby Church and Community News. Rev. John Cole and the PCC changed the village "church magazine" to a village magazine. Previously there was a church magazine for St. Mary's C of E Church available on annual £ subscription but there was poor uptake.
John wanted to produce a magazine for the whole village, delivered to every house free of charge. He produced the first few editions on his home PC and printing cost was met by advertising along the bottom of each page.
John edited 41 editions and stepped down in 1997.
Today, Wrawby Community News is edited by Kate Prior, Pete Townsend, Patrick Keilthy and Stephen Caldwell. Email the team:
