With indoor courts and winter leagues, tennis seems to be a year round sport these days and, on 20 February, our very own Purton Tennis Club celebrates its centenary. On page 33 you will see that several events are being planned, including a Wooden Racquet (remember them?) tournament for which attempts will be made to “winkle out” former members. With increasing numbers of healthy elders and all the modern facilities, surely it can’t be too long before Purton Tennis Club has their first 100-year-old player. Not to be outdone, Purton Cricket club has already started their indoor coaching sessions and practice nets in preparation for their 192nd season. Although the 9th oldest cricket club in the country and the oldest in Wiltshire, improvements to the on-field facilities are being planned, starting with the Cricket Force weekend on 6 - 8 April. Even more summer sports come to mind because this year’s carnival will have the Olympics as its theme. Carnival week will run from 15 - 23 June and more details can be found on page 33. The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee is early in June and already plans are materialising for a village party on Sunday 3 June. It will be a free event at the village centre and everyone is invited to bring their own picnic, as well as tables, chairs, blankets and lanterns. While lots of entertainments are already being lined up, the call goes out on page 36 for more entertainers to join the party. Before then, on 10 March, there will be a rock night in the Village Hall to raise the money needed to stage the village party. Also in March a grand opening of the new St Mary’s CE Primary School is being planned and we look forward to publishing more details next month. In the meantime, there is a very interesting article all about the move from the old school with a montage of photographs on page 26. As usual, lots of things are going on in our vibrant village and we are grateful to everyone who has taken the time and effort to send in the details for sharing with all our readers. 13 100th 250 goals makes Marcus Hall birthday of maximum number Purton Football Club 1st Purton Tennis Club of lots at the team’s leading scorer on 20 February Age Concern auction – see page 32. – see page 33. – see page 11.

  • Swindon & District Directory Extract 1928 Purton
    Swindon & District Directory Extract 1928 Purton PURTON is a large village, with a station on the Gloucester branch of the G.W.R., is 4 miles from Cricklade, 4 from Wootton Bassett, and 6 from Swindon, and is in the Chippenham Division of Wilts, Union and Petty Sessional Division of Cricklade and Wootton Bassett, County Court District of Swindon, and Diocese of Bristol. The Church dedicated to St. Mary, is an ancient structure with modern additions, and was once a chantry to Malmesbury Abbey. Its register dates from 1558. One notable feature in the building is the existence of a tower at the west end, and a lofty spire rising from the intersection of the nave and chancel. Only two other churches of this kind exist in the country – at Wanborough, Wilts, and Ormskirk, Lancashire. The living is a vicarage of the annual value of £455, in the gift of the Earl of Shaftesbury. The excellent Parochial Schools are a standing memorial of the zeal and interest shown by the late Rev. D. O. Coates, to whose energy their success is largely due. In the central part of the village stands a handsome building erected by Mr. and Mrs. James Sadler, of Lydiard House, as a memorial to the deceased sister of Mrs. Sadler, for the purpose of a coffee tavern and reading room. Mr. Sadler has presented the institution to the parishioners, the trustees being the Parish Council. Mr. Sadler, who is the President of the Purton Cricket Club, generously purchased the Cricket Field from Miss Russell in 1911, and presented it to the parish.
