LOCAL HISTORY BLOG - Number 2

Hi everyone,

Here is the second Local History article, and it poses a very interesting conundrum.  If you can work out why there is a churchyard 3/4 of a mile from the church, do please let us know. 

Many thanks to those who have already sent in contributions but I am looking forward to more articles from our 25 History Keepers - just a page, perhaps with a couple of pictures.

LOCAL HISTORY BLOG 2 - `Is there anybody there?`

A group of Local History Keepers have been brought together to cover many different aspects of local life, past and present - after all, the present becomes history.   We hope to send out short pieces regularly about history in the area - that is Ruyton and the XI Towns, Baschurch, Weston Lullingfields and the Nesses. 

As well as the History Keepers, anyone is very welcome to send in a piece, about A4 size, perhaps with a couple of images, as a PDF.  Chose any subject which is dear to you, such as, your family history, the history of your house, your impressions of the village/area when you first came here, memories of attending a local school, growing up locally - 60, 40. 20, 10 years ago, it`s all history.

These articles will then be stored on

http://rxithistory.blogspot.co.uk 

and can also be accessed from the website www.ruytonxitowns.org.uk

You send me your article and I will send out one of these contributions, every 2, 3 or 4 weeks, depending on how the articles come in.   The subject will always be headed
