LANDLADY at the Sun Inn at Leintwardine until she died at the age of 94, Flossie Lane will live on in the village at St Magdalene Church.
Regulars wanted to provide a lasting memory to one of the country’s most famous and longest serving landladies and held their annual beer festival in her honour.
The proceeds have been spent on a carving, commissioned by the church, showing “Miss Flossie Lane”
standing next to an old fashioned wooden beer cask.
The misericord carving is the first to be commissioned for hundreds of years and is the work of local carver Andy Pearson.
It is one of six going on the north choir stalls, opposite the medieval ones which are believed to have been rescued from nearby Wigmore Abbey at the time of the dissolution of the monastries.
Flossie’s carving was displayed at the Sun Inn before being carried, by children, to the church for a blessing.
