The Village Hall and the Cricket Club
After the Cricket Club reopened in 1959 it was decided that a Pavilion must be built. In order to raise funds from the residents of the village it was decided to hold a stall outside the Village Hall every Saturday afternoon for the sale of flowers, vegetables, cakes, bread etc. The Committee of the Village Hall agreed to the plan lending trestle tables etc. Two women took charge of the stall each week and the total sum of £106 was raised during the summer months.
