What we can learn from the 1921 census
Back in January of this year, Maureen Spinks and Shirley Tutton spoke to members about the 1921 census which had just been published. Maureen had just been to The National Archives at Kew to download all the images for Badsey, Aldington and Wickhamford. A team of volunteers was on hand to begin transcribing the records. In double-quick time, the records were published on our website. The results of the census have now been analysed. Maureen painted a picture of what our villages were like a hundred years ago and compared the results with national figures.

It was a fine day for the fifth Badsey Soapbox Derby held on Sunday 28th August 2022. The COVID pandemic had meant that, not since 2019, were the crowds able to congregate on Knowle Hill to watch soapboxes, in all shapes and form, hurtle down the hill.
