This year we have been fortunate to have been given a tape recording made by John Brandon, describing the village, its houses and inhabitants in the 1930s. This covers one side of the Main Road, from the Whip to the school end of Lacey Green. Originally there was a similar record of the other side of the road, but this has been lost.

Dennis, Doug and Gordon have now produced one describing this area, from their memories of just before the Second World War. Rita, Joyce, Rene, Dudley and Mary Lawrence are working on one for Loosley Row

We would like to thank Clive at the shop for his help and encouragement. We could not have done this without him. The last area which we hope to cover is Pink Road, Parslows Hillock and Redlands End. If you can help with any information about this area, please let us know.

We shall be playing these recordings, and also showing slides of some of the houses and people referred to from our collection of archive photographs. We now have an even larger collection, thanks to the generosity of Stephen Brandon (son of John).

There will also be a static exhibition of family trees, including Dell, Floyd, Saunders and Claydon and the very extensive “Janes”, family tree, which has been occupying Joan for most of this year. We are interested in hearing from anyone who has their own local family tree, and would be willing to bring it to the meeting.

These recordings have been made from personal memories, and there may be some inaccuracies. Please let us know of any you are aware of so that we can correct them. Group members will also respect the wishes of any residents who do not wish their houses to be mentioned.
