Thanks to the dedicated work of a team of volunteers from The Badsey Society, a complete transcription of the National Farm Survey records for Badsey, Aldington, Blackminster and Wickhamford (undertaken as part of a national survey in 1941), is now available giving detailed information about the state of agriculture in these parishes. This underutilized resource, when viewed in conjunction with the maps compiled at the time, helps us to have a better understanding of the market gardeners and farmers working the land during the Second World War.
