is:
• To promote high standards of planning and architecture in or affecting
Wicken

To inform the residents of the geography, history, natural history and
architecture of

To secure the preservation, protection, development and improvement of
features of historic interest or public interest in Wicken and the natural
environment of Wicken
• To promote activities and events which help to maintain or enhance
community spirit and social interaction of all the residents in Wicken.
We have a constitution that you can
