In December 1894, Little Paxton Parish Council held its first meeting and 125 years later, members are continue to be active and make a major contribution to village life.

The four-day event held in November attracted more than 400 people and has been described as a "resounding success".

Parish Clerk Jenny Gellatly said: "The 125th celebration was fabulous, and many people have commented on how much they enjoyed the stories from 1894-2019. The model of Little Paxton from 1894 showed how much the village has grown in the past 125 years.

Residents enjoyed the village timeline for 1894- 2019, photo exhibitions, artefacts and the model of the village which was commissioned for the celebration.
