New - Local Business Directory

We've added a local business directory to our site this week. Most of the businesses listed have been supporting Haughton Village and it's magazine for many years, Thank You, and so we have listed you for free. Most adverts are based on the last edition of the Church and Village Magazine in December 2019.   The magazine did make a useful directory and hopefully, this site will do the same.  If we have missed your local business, then sorry, please email and we'll be more than happy to add you. Should you wish to alter, remove or add any information please contact:



To view the directory click here: Local Business Directory
or find it listed in the menu on the right-hand side.
