Village Matters

Issue 71

In this issue we revisit Christmas past through history. We also have a chat with the High Sheriff of Surrey, none other than Dick Whittington (well Richard Whittington to be fair, but related to the Dick Whittington of tales of old). Brewing Heritage is still being kept alive in Spelthorne. Thames Side Brewery has launched and the tradition of brewing in Staines is carrying on. And we hear about the triumphs of public speaking of local teenagers through the brilliant Rotary supported Youth Speaks.
