Shoot dates in Purchase Wood, Deer Park, Brightling/Dallington

Message from Doug Edworthy, Tree Warden, Brightling and Dallington parishes:

“Forestry England have let me know of dates when there will be shooting on their land in Purchase Wood, Deer Park.

It’s in the North of the wood but best to avoid on those days, especially going off main tracks.

November 6,9,13, 16,20,23, 27,30
December 4,7,11,14, 18, 28,
January 8,11,15

People with nervous dogs, especially, might want to avoid the wood on those dates.”

New Dallington History website

Screenshot of the new website

Some of you may already know the Dallington History site which has existed for several years, holding a collection of materials from various sources: occasional local history talks, census returns and other documents, as well as individual articles and queries received from people from around the world researching their Dallington ancestors.

The site has now been given a new look and a major restructure, designed to make it easier to record and celebrate the history of our village, the people who have lived here and the places where they have lived and worked. It has also been registered as a One Place Study (https://www.one-place-studies.org/).

This is still a work in progress, but eventually there will be a page for every house in the village, with details about the buildings and a list of who has lived there over the years, alongside information about individual families and other resources including articles on social history. The site is intended as a community resource for use by anyone researching local or family history, so please do take a look and use the new Queries & Replies page to share any information or questions you may have. You can find it at https://dallingtonhistory.uk/

Report on Coronation celebrations:
At our service following the Coronation we were, as is often the case on ‘big occasions’, without a member of the clergy. Our Churchwarden, Wendy Miers, using material supplied on the internet, produced a service of celebration in which a number of the congregation took part.

After church there was a picnic on the recreation field which had been organised by several residents in conjunction with Dallington Parish Council. Thankfully, and unlike the loyal members of the public who cheered the King and Queen in pouring rain, we were blessed with sunshine.

There were games, cakes and a very clever photo booth tent complete with robes of state, an orb and sceptre and a throne. A lot of thought and imagination which resulted in a happy afternoon of celebration for everyone who joined in the fun.
