It’s good to learn that our village website is visited by people from many places. I have received an email from Paula Wilson who now lives in Australia as she had read the report about Harry Ashworth’s death. She is the niece of Renee Baker of Church Lane and writes that she has one of Harry’s paintings of Chearsley school, hanging above her fireplace in Melbourne. This was bought by Paula’s parents, Pat and Norman Baker from Harry after Paula had written about her childhood memories of Chearsley school published in the Chearsley News in 1992. Renee is looking forward to seeing Paula’s brother and his son when they visit her later this month.

I need your news. Please email or phone or write to me about any family celebration – birth, death, special birthday, or let me know details about your Club’s activities and forthcoming events.
