Henry Brooks, John Staite and James Huxley, labourers of Wickhamford, were charged, on information of the Rev. W. C. Corry, Vicar of Bengeworth, with trespassing in search of game on land in the occupation of Mr. Charles Byrd. Rev. Corry rented a field for shooting called Wet Furrows, with an adjoining coppice. Ann, wife of James Willoughby, saw Huxley and Brooks at 4.30 p.m.
Mr Arthur H Savory of Aldington Manor, who has been a successful agriculturist, has just relinquished farming in this district. Acknowledging a handsome presentation made to him by the Badsey Rangers Football Club the other night, he said that in his 28 years at Aldington he had spent £1000 a year in labour, another £1000 a year in rent, rates, cattle, etc, and another £1000 a year in manures etc, so that he ought to have made his fortune and let someone else have a turn.
Doug Pethard had all to live for. A local Badsey lad made good, he had achieved success both at school and university and on the sports field, he was a devoted member of St James’ Church and had recently embarked on a career in teaching. But one fateful evening in August 1937, this all came to an end when he was drowned in a lake in Austria. He was aged just 23.
