Now exactly one week since the first event, the unveiling of the transformed bus shelter. This remains brightly lit thanks to a dedicated team of volunteers who take it in turns to collect the lamp and replace it after charging the battery. Now on to this year’s topical window!

SOME NOTES ON HILL FARM HOUSE AND ITS FORMER OCCUPANT, RECYCLED FROM A PREVIOUS ENTRY.
Hill Farm House in about 1910.
For many years after the war, Hill Farm House was the home of Fred and Edie Golby. Fred farmed land to the north of the village and was a regular member of Sulgrave cricket team until its demise in the early fifties. He was also a keen billiard player and member of several league winning teams.
