  • Buckworth BOOK.Indd
    The Buckworth Experience 1 2 FOREWORD We have called this book The Buckworth Experience as we have recorded the changing aspects of village life over the past 100 years not just from records but through experiences of past and present residents. The phrase was first coined in the 1980s by the then Bishop of Ely to describe his visit to the parish. He enjoyed the warmth of his welcome, and although it was early spring, he was able to appreciate Buckworth’s unique panoramic views. The church went on to use this catchphrase on many occasions and it appeared on T-shirts and sweatshirts, sold in aid of the church restoration. There have been many changes but what stays constant is the ‘spirit’ of Buckworth and its people. We hope this continues in the twenty-first century as it did in the twentieth and that villagers at the end of this new century, looking back as we have over the past 100 years, will appreciate and recognise the ‘Buckworth experience’. Over the past 18 months, we have contacted and spoken to many people, searched county records and newspaper archives and spent many hours battling with new technology. We would like to thank all those who contributed to this book. We recognise that there are some omissions as not all the detail we wanted was accessible, but we hope we have put together an interesting and informative book. Christine Brown Fiona Morrison Ella Pentelow 3 was 20. INTRODUCTION The village’s wealth in the Middle Ages came from sheep, the wool being used for Buckworth lies to the west of the main high-quality textiles which were produced A1 road from London to Edinburgh and in the Huntingdon area.
