Two new articles on aspects of the history of our community have been added to the website.

The first is on the little known legacy of the Cold War and a nearby nuclear fallout shelter that remains buried under a local field.

The second is an article written by local resident, Joy Ardy, about the unusual war memorial in Wigmore church and the men that it commemorates.

If you have any interesting stories about our community’s past please get in touch via our contact page.

A first stab at thoughts for a possible development of the Bury Lane Community Field has been documented and is available for download below. Residents’ views on this and any other ideas for uses for the space are very welcome. If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please contact Bryan Casbourne at: casbourne@btinternet.com
