In this wiki, local people, places and events are recorded and linked so that it is possible to trace back through their stories.

I am Joan West.   For me it all began in 1971 when I hoped to discover the history of Stocken Farm, my husband’s family home.

Dennis Claydon was already working on the local history here.   Dennis and I spent many hours in the Local Records Office, sharing our discoveries. In 1970 the village magazine Hallmark was launched providing more general information and in particular research by Miles Marshall and Rita Probert.

In 2008 the Local History Group was formed when Dennis Claydon and I declined to write a local book knowing that once printed it could not include any new information that came to light.   It was decided to put that information on a website.

In this wiki I am putting information from all these sources so that all those people, places and events can be linked to tell their stories, with as many photographs as possible.
