2015 - This 3rd event raised £12,500.
To date this has been used to fund £5000 worth of educational equipment in St Chad's C of E First School. The remaining amount will be used to finance another modernisation project in St Chad's Church.

The proceeds raised from this 5th event will be used in supporting our local School, St Chad’s C of E (VC) First School, the Village Hall (New curtains in the Main Hall, now installed), and St.Chad’s Church West End Door project. (Now complete and in use, particularly for funeral services.)


New Glass Doors...
Some of the proceeds from both 2011 and 2013 Pattingham Scarecrow Festivals were used to finance the removal of the old Victorian wooden doors in the main entrance of St Chad's Church and replace these with new glass doors. The new glass doors were installed in January 2015.
The glass was etched with St Chad Crosses together with the logo of the mascot of the Scarecrow Festival, nicknamed 'Charlie'. Charlie can be seen quite clearly when the sun shines through the door and creates a shadow of him.
On Sunday 27th September 2015 at the Evensong service, the Archdeacon of Walsall, Dr Sue Weller dedicated the doors.

Dr Weller can be seen standing outside the new doors after the service had ended. Charlie is also visible just to the right of Dr Weller's hand.


Porch Apex Stone is replaced...
Some of the proceeds from Pattingham Scarecrow Festival 2017 have been used to replace the Apex Stone over the porch.
Research was carried out to try to find exactly what was originally at the apex of the porch arch with no success, although it was suggested that perhaps a cross may have been in this place.

It was finally decided to repair the stone by replacing it with a new stone with a plain design, as can be seen in the photograph.

This works was carried in the week before the 2017 Scarecrow Festival, 22nd to 24th September.


New Barrier for St Chad's School

An amount from the proceeds made by the 2017 Scarecrow Festival were used to install a security barrier on the driiveway into St Chad's School in Pattingham.


Village Playing Fields Adult Gym Project...
Part of the proceeds from Pattingham Scarecrow Festival 2021 have been used to create a new area on the Village Playing Fields for adult exercise.

Five different adult exercise machines have been installed purely for use by the adults of Pattingham.

West Door inside St Chad's Church - West End Door Project...
Part of the proceeds from Pattingham Scarecrow Festival 2021 and 2023 have been used to remove the internal Victorian Screen and open up the West End Door back into use, particularly for funeral services.
