The 2010 Annual Hanging Ornament
Christmas is a time for sharing, of sending cards and greetings to friends far and wide, but it is also a time to reflect on the real meaning of Christmas, as the time to celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus. That's what makes this delightful little Christmas ornament with a post box near the parish church the perfect piece to adorn any festive display - as it symbolises both messages.
Our little church has been inspired by the tower of Snelston's Parish Church of St Peter, which dates back to the early fifteenth century. The rest of the church has seen many alterations over the centuries, most notably in 1825 and 1907 when major alterations were undertaken by Hodgson Fowler, but the tower stands as a proud testament to its ancient construction.
Both of the 2010 Christmas Annual pieces come from Snelston, making them the perfect pairing for your collection.

2010 Christmas Special Edition,
Illuminated
It's not just Father Christmas who delivers Christmas presents, as the village postman is kept very busy too! Here you can see him loading his van outside Snelston's Grade II Listed former post office ready for some last minute deliveries, as the light glowing through the pretty mullioned windows must mean it is getting rather late in the day!
With its red Flemish brickwork, Tudoresque chimneys, and decorative timber studding, this picturesque building is typical of the architecture to be found in this model village, which was built by the Squire, John Harrison, in the mid-nineteenth century.
Uses two AA-size long life batteries, or a 3-volt adaptor.
