Video of The Plaque Dedication Service in memory of Norman Cardwell (headteacher of Croston Wesleyan School and steward of this church in the 1930s and 40s) and his wife Merci who opened their hearts and home to Olga Bergmann Gabanyi, a Czechoslovakian refugee, who came to Croston on the last Winton Kindertransport in September 1939. Indeed an important event in the history of our church and village.
