People in Ilmington were joined by RSC and Archers actor David Troughton to celebrate the completion of a project to open a community owned and run shop and café in the village.
The project is the culmination of four years of work by volunteers who formed a community owned co-operative, raised funds to purchase the former St Philips church and convert and extend it to house the shop and café. The shop opened in May 2015, and the café formally opened to customers on the 17th July 2016.
