Some of you will already know that the village has been offered the most amazing collection of archive documents by ex-resident Geoff Butter who has been collecting Adderley history for over 40 years! He has offered the village the whole collection and to secure its future we are putting in a Heritage Lottery Fund bid.
With that in mind, you will be receiving through your letter box, over the next few days, a Treasure Trail and accompanying Quiz which we hope you might spend a little time completing. If you walk the Treasure Trail you will follow the proposed Heritage Trail but you can complete the quiz without walking the trail if you like. There are no prizes just glory and cake. We sincerely hope that you will pop along to the village hall on Sunday 20th March between 10.00 am and 12 noon to find out the correct answers and to see some of this collection and hear about our ideas for the bid for funding. Did we mention that THERE WILL BE CAKE!
There are numerous sites around the village that shape our local history, going back as far as the 11th Century and we want to preserve their memory in our history for future generations and to give everyone who lives here now a sense of the amazing heritage they have around every corner.
If you can’t wait to receive the quiz through your door, or you have friends or relatives who might also like to have a go, or who might have memories, stories, artefacts, photographs, newsclippings or anything at all please send them a link to the quiz and this article. We would love to see you, your children, your parents or grandparents or distant friends and relations on the 20th and explore together how we can make this bid work to preserve this special collection.
If you are unable to come along on the 20th but have information or offers of help to share just use the contact information in the Quiz document to let us know.
