Bunny is a small village situated in South Nottinghamshire, England. The village has been a place of settlement for many centuries, possibly as far back as Roman times. This website, set-up and maintained by the Bunny Village History Society, has been created to present some of the information that has been collated on the village.

This site contains transcriptions of Bunny's baptisms from 1715 to 1929, marriages from 1556 to 1929, burials from 1715 to 1899, census returns from 1841 to 1911 and all readable Churchyard inscriptions.

Bunny Parish Council information is now available on this site including minutes of meetings, agendas, general notices, list of members and other useful information.

Wanted - Tree Wardens

Rushcliffe Borough Council are looking to appoint tree wardens in local parishes and are appealing for people to contact them to support their aim.

The Borough say they would hope to be able to appoint the wardens in every parish in their area, and are to launch their project at Rushcliffe Country Park at Ruddington on Saturday June 22, between 11.30am and 3pm.

Tree wardens can be appointed by their local parish council and would be the parish contact for all things tree related in their area. One of their jobs would be to report early signs of pest, disease and vandalism as well as gathering information, survey and record information about trees important for wildlife and the heritage of the parish. They
would also be able to look out for opportunities to plant more trees in the local community, enhancing the environment for parishioners.

Mr Paul Phillips, the Environmental Sustainability Officer for the Borough, says he can be contacted on 0115 9148595 and he would be happy to pass on more information to anyone interested.
