The Village Produce Association

The Village Produce Association grew out of the need to use village allotments and gardens to produce food during World War 2, and they produced a regular newsletter, which is the topic of this item from the archive

Postcard dated 8th October 1906 of St Mary's church

B-000010

Document

An early 20th century view of the inside of St Mary's church shows it before electric lighting was installed. As there was no mains electricity in Wargrave then, a generator had also to be built - in the building that is now the Hannen Room
