Traditional Charcoal Burn 

This year our charcoal burn will be in memory of Pete Ralph who sadly passed away recently. Pete was responsible for organising and manning the burns for many years and he will be remembered with great fondness. It is mainly thanks to Pete that a traditional burn takes place at the Dean Heritage Centre, he will be greatly missed, a truly lovely man.
