 GROUP

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.

WANTED

Empty scrapbooks to hold the thousands of press cuttings we have relating to the village from 1950 onwards. If you fancied helping us compile them too whilst being able to read the cuttings them please contact us

NEW PAGE ADDED TO WEBSITE

People has been added to the Village History pages

 

ANY OLD IRON?

If you come across anything related to the village that you would like to have saved for future generations of Blewburians to goggle at then we are more than keen to take it into our care.

 

The sad loss of Derek Smith on Midsummers Day 2009 means we have lost Blewburys oldest born resident. He will be missed. We believe this honour now passes to Pam Grace

RESTORING OLD PHOTO’S

We have the technology to enhance and actually repair digitally old photographs. If you have any related to Blewbury that we can do this with and save the digital copy in our archives then please let us know. There is no damage to the original.

New Blewbury Publication

We hear of an important new publication just released. An original research work into one of the windows of Blewbury Chursh has just been completed and reveals some startling news. Available from the Church and prices at only £1.50.
