Village News Archives

Here we'll be showing news items from over half-a-century of Maiden Newton village life, covering everything from the completion of the village hall in 1958 to a clowning lesson for the youngsters of the village in 2001.

Each month we will show stories from the press that happened "On this day" over the past half-century, giving a real sense of the colourful history of the village.

If you've got any other stories that we could feature please get in touch with mark@alacrify.co.uk. We'd love to hear from you!
