THERE were celebrations in Studley when the In Bloom committee heard that the village’s hard work had paid off after receiving a Gold award in the Heart of England in Bloom competiton.

Judges from the competition visited the village back in August and were obviously very impressed with what they.

The In Bloom committee in Studley has also had a second reason to celebrate recently, as they have organised the siting of a striking new “Studley” sculpture on the Barley Mow Island for residents and visitors to enjoy.
