The Plumstead 2000 Fund is a registered charity and was established in May 1999 with the object of raising funds for conservation, environmental and charitable ventures for the village of Plumstead and surrounding area.
It started as a committee of the Parish Council to investigate ideas on how to celebrate the millennium. Almost immediately The Plumstead 2000 Fund was born. Its many achievements include the village millennium sign, the parish noticeboard, the bus shelter, a stage and hearing loop for Baconsthorpe village hall, tree/daffodil planting as well as generous financial contributions towards the repair of the Church bell and the renovation of the village pond. It has also presented 25 shows at Baconsthorpe village hall for the enjoyment of the local community

Before the renovation
Before the renovation work started in September 2009 the area was a complete jungle of willows and other "weed" trees and the water that could be seen was murky and completely lifeless. Click for more pictures about the renovation.
After the renovation
Less than one year later plants have recolonised the water [supplemented by introduced native to Norfolk species] and frogs, toads, tadpoles, newts and numerous insects have appeared including more than than 10 different damsel/dragonflies. The surrounding area has been planted with native shrubs by volunteers from the village and by Spring 2011 the adjoining piece of land should be a vibrant wildflower meadow.

St Michael and All Angels dates from the early 12th century and has 'herring-boned' courses of carstone visible in the north wall which are typical of the period. The church has a lovely simplicity, with the tower being the most prominent feature. The tower has a chimney in it, and the recess for the fireplace is now used as a cupboard! Interestingly, the north wall has no windows and the division between the roofs of the chancel and the nave are marked by different construction. The chancel has a hammer beam roof, and the nave a trussed rafter roof.
For more detailed information please visit www.norfolkchurches.co.uk/plumstead/plumstead.htmSt Michael and All Angels is part of the Barningham Benefice and services are held twice a month. Details of these are in the Village Diary.
