The weather had been much too dry to suit the crop of potatoes in the huge fields inside the village square, resulting in heavy irrigation and waterlogged furrows. This has made using the footpath completely impossible for several months! |

A move had been made to form a local 'list' of properties that are not nationally listed, but could well have been included. Notable in the village is the Victorian post box at St Margaret's Cross, as well as St Margaret's cottage beyond. |

Workmen have cut back the line-of-sight highway requirements of the proposed Travellers Site. This comes up for planning consent next month, and its agreement seems to be a forgone conclusion. |

Wednesday evening and a 'phone call tells me the bonfire is burning, left. the next day, right, presents a forlorn sight but, as the press took up the story, the whole sorry event was turned around and the evening gained a great deal of publicity ... and justifiable public support. The real Bonfire Night was thus a great success! |

The potatoes have been harvested, with great difficulty in the rains (with tractors rescuing each other!) and the vast field is revealed as bare ... and completely impassible as a footpath. The new business park in Park Lane is showing signs of economic life, centre, and a splash of red at the entrance to the village, right. |

Tricia Ernst the Youth Worker, right, laid the wreath at this memorial for the Parish. She is American and it was felt most fitting that she could play a part in honouring the many American dead who served on, and flew from, the airfield in Langham. |
