  • Pepys Greenwich Walk
    Samuel Pepys’ Walk through the eastern City of London and Greenwich Distance = 5 miles (8 km) Estimated duration = 3 – 4 hours not including the river trip to Greenwich Nearest underground stations: This is planned to start from the Monument underground station, but could be joined at several other places including Aldgate or Tower Hill underground stations. You can do this Walk on any day of the week, but my recommendation would be to do the first part on a Wednesday or a Thursday because there may be free lunchtime classical recitals in one of the churches that are on the route. The quietest time would be at the weekend because the main part of this Walk takes place in the heart of the business district of London, which is almost empty at that time. However this does mean that many places will be closed including ironically the churches as well as most of the pubs and Seething Lane Garden. It’s a good idea to buy a one-day bus pass or travel card if you don’t already have one, so that you needn’t walk the whole route but can jump on and off any bus going in your direction. This is based around the Pepys Diary website at www.pepysdiary.com and your photographs could be added to the Pepys group collection here: www.flickr.com/groups/pepysdiary. And if you aren't in London at present, perhaps you'd like to attempt a "virtual tour" through the hyperlinks, or alternatively explore London via google streetview, the various BBC London webcams or these ones, which are much more comprehensive.

  • The Villager June 19
    The Villager The Official Publication of Normandy Parish Council June 2019 - Issue 69 Welcome Welcome to the June 2019 edition of The Villager. I hope you enjoy reading the articles inside. The Local Elections were held on the 2nd May this year when the Parish Council increased its number of councillors from seven to nine. It was uncontested as only nine people put themselves forward for election. You may have noticed that only seven are actually ‘elected’. This is due to Guildford Borough Council having ‘lost’ two sets of paperwork (Val Cheesman and myself). This was corrected at the Parish Council AGM on 15th May. Five of the existing councillors (David Simmons, Ally Lawson, Geoff Doven, Bob Hutton and Peter Palmer) were re-elected plus two new, Margaret Amos and Sarah Noble. Welcome to Sarah and Margaret. Please see inside a few words from Margaret and Sarah by way of introduction. The increase in councillors is no cost to the Village as we are all volunteers (not paid). I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our councillors for all the time and effort they have put in throughout their term of office and hope they will continue to show such dedication through the next term. Also a special thank you to Leslie Clarke, our Parish Clerk, without whose vast knowledge it would make my position extremely difficult and Anna Beuden, our Assistant Clerk, Website and Villager Editor. The Local Plan has been accepted by the Planning Inspector and Guildford Borough Council have put it in place. Normandy has ‘escaped’ from any major developments, but the developed areas of the village will now be inset from the Green Belt.
