About Coleorton Parish

Coleorton Parish includes the villages of Peggs Green, Griffydam, Farm Town, Church Town, Gelsmoor as well as Coleorton and Coleorton Moor. Because the parish is so spread out with no defined centre the Parish Council decided a web site was a good way to communicate with parishioners. We hope the web site will become a centre of information about activities, events and clubs in the area, a directory for local businesses and services, public transport, a platform for people who would like to share their enthusiasm for local history, the environment, etc.

Local businesses and services

Coleorton residents are an enterprising bunch: the latest Coleorton businesses listed in the local services directory include IT specialists, photographers and dog walkers. Email webmaster@coleorton.org.uk if you would like your local business listed.

If you would like to contribute any item about Coleorton or surrounding areas or add details of your club, organisation or event (no charge) or have any suggestions for items on this web site please email webmaster@coleorton.org.uk.
