Don't forget your glasses when you visit our exhibition on the 23rd. There will be lots to read. And we don't think you will want to borrow our glasses...

On this day, two hundred and seven years ago, Samuel White from Chrishall was in Royston. Did he ride down in the morning? Had he stayed overnight? We will probably never know but we do have the document that he signed that day. Want to have a quick look before the originals are returned to their owners? The Archive is open on Sunday 2-5pm. See you there. :)

This is not the best photograph but it was taken at the back of Park Wood and that light coloured block between the trees is Chesterford Park. I was surprised you can see it so clearly and it ties in with a village story I heard recently. According to Miss Dove, when the American ammunition dump stored at Chesterford Park blew up in May 1944 it brought down the plaster ceilings in Chrishall cottages. Has anyone else heard of this? And does it explain why the ceilings in Ramblers were all covered in hardboard?

Lovely walk round Park Wood this afternoon. Beautiful wild flowers and clouds of butterflies all the way round.

This was our stall at Saffrom Walden Museum's 12th century live and where I got the inspiration for today's blog post. See the latest article at www.chrishallessex.co.uk

Deep into Anglo Saxon research this week but I have been pulled off track by a contact from the Moule family which is proving fascinating. Any other Moule / Mowle / Mole connections out there?

Has anyone else noticed that the four angels/choristors(?) on the church pews are all different? Were they based on people from the village I wonder? Archive open tomorrow (BH Monday) 2-5pm. Do let me know if you know more about these lovely carvings.
