Millennium Notes
At the time of the Millennium celebrations a group of villagers contributed to a small booklet that accompanied the picture of the village painted by Mrs Hyams which is in the Village Hall. The booklet gave a snapshot of village activities up to the Millennium; some of the information in it of course is now out of date. You can view the booklet by clicking here.
