I opened up the Church at 6.15am for the Euro voting on 22nd May and locked it up again at 10.15pm.

Of 244 villagers entitled to vote, 87 voted in person and a further 60 in the village used their postal vote, giving a total of 147 who voted, which is a 60% turnout.

This is probably significantly higher than the national average, when the full figures are announced on 25th May.

Well done, Hankerton villagers !
