The 2,000-plus knitted and crocheted poppies were created by the residents of Whittington under the Whittington Together group in 2018 to mark the centenary of the end of the First World War.
They were made into a 30-foot cascade that hung from Whittington Castle as part of the village fete.
Now the cascade has been hung in St John the Baptist parish church.
Rector, Reverend Suzan Williams, said: "The cascade will be hanging in the church for a fortnight. Do pop in and have a look it’s beautiful. There’s a donations box at the back at the church for The Royal British Legion."
