A note from the editor
Summertime is traditionally a time for friends and families, a time for visits, for holidays together and simply a time to relax and enjoy one another’s company. So that theme of friends and families runs through this issue of the magazine.
Everyone can look back on sunny summer outings in days past. Cath Smith and her team have come up with a comprehensive list of local attractions, especially those aimed at families. For those feeling
energetic, Sinead Comerford has written of an inspiring walk around Broadway, while for others with more peaceful times in mind there is information about Kelmscott Manor and the little-known heritage centre at Churchill.
Family history receives a good airing in our pages. David Betterton writes about the history behind the Groves family and there is an article about the sporting prowess of the Hartley family, a prowess that reached national level.
Who remembers Jan Harvey? She looks back fondly on her Wychwood days. Meanwhile, Anwen Marshall reminds all those with families about the transition from schooldays to the time when the nest starts to empty and families move on.
Anything else? Well, you can find out about a gift to the village, progress of the cricket club as it looks towards a new provision, plans for the Wild Garden and the burgeoning interest in wildflower meadows.
