"We have documentary proof of the cost of the village celebrations for the Queen Elizabeth's Coronation in 1953, and we remember quite plainly how cold it was.
On that occasion £224.1s.2d was raised from Dances, Whist Drives, Drama performances, Jumble Sales, Donations and House-to-House collections.
£173.7s.2d was spent, including £62 on the village tea and £26 on a firework display.
Of the balance £32.2s.6d was spent on purchasing a flag staff with plaque and Union Jack and presented to the Village Hall, where it was erected (alas the flag staff has not survived), and the remaining £18.10s.5d was donated to Village Hall Funds."
In 2002 Ted Janes recalled the day in Hallmark as follows :-
"I can't remember much about our Coronation celebrations except that it was mid-summer, but as cold as Christmas."
