Despite it being an absolutely foul day, and still raining when a number of members bravely walked along Brewers Lane in the rain, we had nearly 40 people in the room and 13 people on Zoom for Alan Tutton's presentation was very much enjoyed. Having worked on the Badsey and Aldington QR CODE Trail and led walks around the village based on this, Alan became fascinated by how the topography of the village has affected its development. This was then fuelled by a visit to the Hive where, as part of a guided tour for the Society, he was introduced to the Historic Environment Record – a searchable database with digital mapping of all known archaeological sites, historic buildings and landscapes in the county supported by paper and digital sources. Alan shed new light on what makes Badsey the village it has grown into today.
