Lavendon History Group - Next Meeting: 11
June 2012
Did you know that there is a History Group
(part of the Lavendon Old Folks Club) that
has a meeting most months to listen to a
speaker, usually on a local or general interest
history topic? Although these talks are organised
by the Old Folks, they are usually of broad
interest to a wider audience, and normally
include a slideshow.
The talks are open to anyone, regardless
of age, and are usually held on a Monday
afternoon starting at 2pm in the Lavendon
Village Hall. There is a charge of £1
for members and £2 for visitors or
non-members. This helps to cover the cost
of speakers as well as the tea and biscuits
that are included.
The next meeting will be held on 11 June
2012 when it is expected that Alan Richardson
will give an illustrated talk about
'The Old Trades of Olney'.

Wall Hanging in Lavendon Church
to Commemorate the
Diamond Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II
During the last 18 months 14 Lavendon ladies
have been busy creating a large wall hanging
(approx 6ft x 8ft) to commemorate the Diamond
Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II.
The wall hanging depicts houses and activities
in the village of Lavendon. It will be hung
in St Michael's Church, Lavendon, and
dedicated during the 9.30am service on Sunday
3rd June.
The Church will be open for Afternoon Teas on Bank Holiday Monday, 4th
June, from 2.30pm to 4.30pm so that this magnificent work of art can
be viewed.
Everyone is welcome.
An amazing example of the skill that has
gone into making the wall hanging is shown
below, in this case crafted by Mrs Erica
Rodwell.
