Have you found a mystery<br />
rock around Faringdon?<br />
Lemonwood Grove School pupils have decorated Faringdon<br />
by placing rocks painted with positive messages around the<br />
community. It was part of a project that aimed to link the<br />
school to the growing neighbourhood. Explore the green<br />
spaces in Faringdon and see if you can find a rock, then read it<br />
and place it somewhere else for other residents to find.<br />
