Following the events in the two villages to celebrate Queen Victoria’s 60 years as Queen at her Diamond Jubilee on 21/22 June 1897, the Parish Newsletter carried a report from the vicar as well as the results of the village sports.

Hester and Marjory Townsend had made a tableau to celebrate the event.
