   A big push for keeping it local at the moment and at Feast day tomorrow. Here's what the Market Place looked like circa 1955. Edge of the cycle shop which i'm sure I remember from the late 70's, and sadly topical with the recent demise of the Chiltern Barn cycle shop.

	Layters Green at the top of the village. I presume this is the same pond as the one still there today and the house is the old Willow house that has recently been knocked down and several put in its place.
