The group is run by Carol Holden, wife of the church’s Rev Richard Holden, Angela Baxter, and Kathleen Warren.
James Warren, church member and husband to Kathleen, described their work as ‘poignant’, saying: “It makes the hairs on the back of your next stand up.”
Handmade poppies are available to buy in aid of the Royal British Legion and church funds.
