Following on from their successful workshop held via Zoom in 2020, Alan & Shirley Tutton repeated this workshop, this time held at Badsey Community Sports & Social Club.

On the afternoon of Sunday 19th June, Tom Locke and Val Harman led a stroll down Manor Road, Wickhamford, looking at houses which featured in the census of 1921.  Lots of fascinating facts about the people who lived there a hundred years ago and Tom and Val were able to provide photos of some of the residents.

A small group of people met outside Aldington Manor on the morning of Saturday 18th June for a walk round Aldington.  It was good to see retired Treasurer, Tony Wood, and Avril, on the walk, having driven up from Cheltenham for the day.  Having only left Badsey in April, they were keen to keep in touch.  Whilst the weather remained dry for the whole walk, it was unfortunately not the glorious weather of the night before.

A few hardy souls met at the Remembrance Hall for a stroll round the northern part of Badsey.  Unfortunately the good weather of the night before did not last and the walk had to be abandoned three-quarters of the way through because of rain.  However, a print-out provided by Maureen Spinks means that anyone can follow the route on a self-guided walk.

On a glorious Friday evening, a large number of people met at The Wheatsheaf to take a stroll round the centre of Badsey looking at houses which appeared in the 1921 census.  The walk was enlivened by contributions from long-term residents of the village who had lots of fascinating information to add.  If you missed the walk, you can follow the route yourself on this self-guided trail.
