The Public Houses of Blewbury - Member Dave Carless has an ongoing project to record as much information about those that have existed in the village

Location of the old saw pit - The Sawyers Arms, demolished in 1968, was located on South Street and close to a Sawpit. But where was the actual location of the sawpit? Proof that is was located in the garden of Eastbrook is needed.

The following men are named on the 2nd World War record certificate as Blewbury men. James Finn, Michael Growcott, Reginald Hayden, Lesley Robinson, James Wheatley, Peter Waterfield. Our research has not revealed who they are or their connection to the village

The website is our latest venture. The idea was first mooted in November 2008 and we went live with it in February 2009. Its a constantly changing beast and if you have any comments on it then please let us know.
