  • 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.

  • Spaldwick News
    Spaldwick News November 2008 (Photograph courtesy of Alastair Brydon) WELCOME Welcome to the November Edition I must apologise for another late edition; I appreciate that a number of people are naturally concerned with the late arrival of the News, especially considering the need for timely communication of events and dates. I have to admit that my growing business commitments mean that I am not able to devote the time that I would like each month to continue with the News. To co- ordinate, chase, edit, pull together and print each edition takes around 10-16 hours each month. It is therefore with a little sadness that I must stand down and pass the baton on to someone else. I must admit that although I have enjoyed the last eight months, I must recognise what I can realistically commit to in the foreseeable future. I would ask if anyone is interested in taking the News forward to its next phase, please contact John Blatch on 01480-890853. In my final edition we have latest news from Spaldwick School, the Five Parish Advent Fair, Spaldwick Social Events Group, along with the usual diary dates, etc. I wish you all well – bye for now… Michael. 2 SPALDWICK COMMUNITY PRIMARY SCHOOL Harvest Celebrations at Spaldwick School Each class created a scarecrow for display in the school; they include Angelina Ballerina, Charlie the Chimney sweep and an Egyptian Mummy. Over 70 pupils and 15 members of staff enjoyed the Harvest Day school dinner. To accompany Mrs Grindley’s ploughman’s meal, we enjoyed a serving of the winning soup in the recent school soup competition.
