Welcome to SowerbyNow! The web-site of Sowerby's very own quarterly newspaper.  Our aims and objectives are simple, to help foster a sense of community and identity in the village of Sowerby and support charities and organisations that operate within the parish or which benefit Sowerby's residents.  The newspaper has been running since December 2008 and is organised by the Methodist and Anglican churches in Sowerby.  You can view any of our previously published editions by clicking on the following link.  Back issues  

The purpose of the website is not to replace the newspaper but rather to complement it, supporting the community by providing the following additional serivices:
