The roll of honour lists all those from the village who acyually enrolled to serve during WWI - my great uncle is Alfred Edmund Burgess Hillson


When Mum was a kid, and in fact as I remember it, the village was surrounded by fields. However they have made a nature reserve there ... and Jiffy and I visited it in the afternoon -

There was a Roman villa locally - this celebrates this event
