    CRATFIELD NEWS July 2018 1 Thank you Lesley and Dennis would like to thank everyone for their kind words and actions on the recent sad loss of Lesley's mother. Wanted Person to carry out various jobs around the garden i.e. painting sheds etc. Would suit young person or O.A.P. Call: 07971 236531 or 798 850: 'Cratfield Houses' Stitchery At last I have been able to organise the hanging of my work so I would like to invite everyone to come along and see it on Friday 20 th July in the church from 6.30 till about 8pm . To coax you along there will be a glass of wine and a nibble! If you remember me photographing your house, or even if you don't, if you live in a farmhouse or a period property anywhere in the village from Red House Farm in one direction, Cantley Farm in another, Cratfield Lodge in another and Apple tree Cottage in yet another with all points in between, your house will hopefully be represented, unless you are very, very well hidden. I ventured up many drives and all but one householder was happy for me to take a photo. I think there are about 66 homes to see. If you live in a more modern house, (could they be another project) please don't feel left out, you can still come for a look and a glass! Sue Eade 2 Despite the late Spring and recent lack of rain, I hope that your greenhouses, gardens and allotment plots are looking great, and I hope that you are all beginning to think about your entries for the Cratfield Horticultural Show on Saturday 4 th August As last year, we have tried to tailor the classes in the Produce and Flowers Sections to what we hope will be available at the beginning of August, but the dry weather may have an effect on some of the classes.

Demographic Profile: Age & Ethnicity . Economy and Labour Market . Schools & NEET . Index of Multiple Deprivation . Health . Crime & Community Safety . Additional Information . Data Sources 3 ELECTORAL DIVISION PROFILES: AN INTRODUCTION These profiles have been produced to support elected members, constituents and other interested parties in understanding the demographic, economic, social and educational profile of their neighbourhoods. We have used the latest data available at the time of publication. Much more data is available from national and local sources than is captured here, but it is hoped that the profile will be a useful starting point for discussion, where local knowledge and experience can be used to flesh out and illuminate the information presented here. The profile can be used to help look at some fundamental questions e.g. Does the age profile of the population match or differ from the national profile? . Is there evidence of the ageing profile of the county in all the wards in the Division or just some? . How diverse is the community in terms of ethnicity? . What is the impact of deprivation on families and residents? . Does there seem to be a link between deprivation and school performance? . What is the breakdown of employment sectors in the area? . Is it a relatively healthy area compared to the rest of the district or county? . What sort of crime is prevalent in the community? A vast amount of additional data is available on the Suffolk Observatory www.suffolkobservatory.info The Suffolk Observatory is a free online resource that contains all Suffolk’s vital statistics; it is the one‐stop‐shop for information and intelligence about Suffolk.

  • USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction
    USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction During the Second World War, the East of England became home to hundreds of US airmen. They began arriving in 1942, with many existing RAF (Royal Air Force) airfields made available to the USAAF (United States Army Air Force). By 1943 there were over 100,000 US airmen based in Britain. The largest concentration was in the East of England, where most of the 8th Air Force and some of the 9th were located on near a hundred bases. The 8th Air Force was the largest air striking force ever committed to battle, with the first units arriving in May 1942. The 9th Air Force was re-formed in England in October 1943 - it was the operator of the most formidable troop-carrying force ever assembled. Their arrival had an immediate impact on the East Anglian scene. This was the 'friendly invasion' - a time of jitterbugging dances and big band sounds, while the British got their first taste of peanut butter, chewing gum and Coke. Famous US bandleader Glenn Miller was based in the Bedford area (Bedfordshire), along with his orchestra during the Second World War. Close associations with residents of the region produced long lasting friendships, sometimes even marriage. At The Eagle pub in Cambridge (Cambridgeshire), and The Swan Hotel at Lavenham (Suffolk), airmen left their signatures on the ceiling/walls. The aircraft of the USAAF were the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator - used by the Bombardment Groups (BG); and the P-51 Mustang, P-38 Lightning and P-47 Thunderbolt - used by the Fighter Groups (FG).
