Jennifer and Oliver will be getting married on the 5th June 2010 at 1.30pm at St Chads Church, Church Wilne near Draycott, Derbyshire.


St Chad's Church is located within a very small hamlet called Church Wilne, near Draycott. The name Wilne means 'a clearing in the willows'. A church was recorded there in AD 822 dedicated to St Chad, the Bishop of Lichfield whose diocese covered the area. It is thought that St Chad used it as his base to spread Christianity throughout what was then the Kingdom of Mercia. The village of Church Wilne is mentioned in the Domesday book as one village in 1086. Progressively though the ages the village of Church Wilne has disappeared and its inhabitants have migrated to Draycott (earlier known as Dry Cote, a 'dry place') some 1.5 miles away.

The church is special to the Dundas family with many weddings, baptisms, anniversary blessings and funerals being held there for more than 50 years.
