Background to the Pits Trust
Charity Number 243172 (see link at foot of page).
The Claxton Parish Pit Charity (the Pits Trust) was registered with the Charity Commissioners in July 1965. Its origins date back to the Enclosure Acts when parishes were invested with properties which were for public benefit. It was previously known as the “Poor’s Allotment” and “Poor’s Trust”. (more…)

Ducan’s Marsh Workday – job done!
The weather was kind and the sun shone for much of the morning when a volunteer working party from the Pits Trust and the Wildlife Group turned up at Ducan’s Marsh to transport and install a large number of even larger sleepers across the stream dividing the marsh. Two hours later it was done, or at least the really heavy part of the job was, and it was time to enjoy a mug of tea or coffee and one of Kaarin’s famous flapjacks.
The photo below is of the team on the new bridge (minus Bernie who was taking the photo). Thanks to everyone for making this possible. Details of future workdays will be publicised here and through the South Yare Wildlife Group.

Claxton’s Village Sign – not long now …
As you can see from the photo (right), the large oak which will be carved to make the Village Sign was lowered into position on 6 February, under the watchful eyes of Parish Council Chairperson Pat Clare, and Claxton Pits Trust Chairman, Professor Roland Kaye. The Pits Trust is funding the sign, designs for which were considered at the 2011 Fair on the Yare. The full photo set (Creating the Village Sign) is on our flickr site at http://www.flickr.com/photos/78542021@N04/sets.The wood sculptor, Ben Loughrill, will – weather permitting – begin the sculpting on site next Monday 11 February. Ben is happy to work in front of an audience, but we ask that any onlookers should maintain a safe distance from what, until completion, will remain a work zone.
