The Idea of the book some 439 pages, was to celebrate the Millennium with a lasting memory. The idea was born at a Parish Council meeting in 1997. Under the initial guidance of Rosemary Wills a team of around five people gathered together, which then gradually grew into a working group of many more.

Thanks to the successful application, a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund was given.

Voices of the village is a history of West Chiltington Parish, as told by the villagers themselves.

The book divides into Four sections:

Parish Boundaries, soil types and manorial holdings.

The parish area by area, the houses, the people who lived there and the work they did.

Parish Matters covering the village hall, the pubs, flower shows and festivals.

The Church, the school and the war years.

Out & About

MONKMEAD WOOD

VOLUNTEERS

Meeting on the 3rd Saturday of the month (weather permitting of course, but the more hardy ones tend to wrap up warm and brave the rain if it's not too heavy !).

MWVG is a small group of friends, neighbours and interested parties who get together to carry out light, varied seasonal conservation work in Monkmead Wood's.

Nothing too strenuous and if you like cutting down branches, helping to clear river banks or pulling a few sapplings, you'll have a lot of fun.

To find out more please contact Amanda Apps (West Chiltington Parish Tree Warden) or Click here for the MWVG web site.
