Richmond Villages Nantwich celebrated the "extraordinary" lives of three of its residents, who have recently turned 100 years old.

These centenarians, each with their own extraordinary stories and contributions, were honoured in unique and heartfelt ways. Here are their stories.

Rachel Sherwin, who reached the age of 100 on January 31, was a beloved member of the community and a valued member of the St Mary's Church bell ringing team.

During World War II, Rachel served as a land girl, contributing to the war effort with her hard work and dedication.

In a touching tribute, the bell ringers of St Mary's in Nantwich rang the church bells on her birthday, a gesture of gratitude and celebration for her century of life.

This special event was a testament to Rachel's lasting impact on the community and her fellow bell ringers.
