Saturday, 25 September 2021 - 1-4pm in the Village Hall
The annual local history exhibition returns to the Village Hall with lots of displays, photographs and information about life in the parish in years gone by.
There will, as in the past, be a wide range of fascinating displays of local interest, copies of all the Heritage Bank books for sale and much more ...
Displays are likely to feature::
- hop growing and picking - activities which transformed the parish every year
- the Buriton and Butser chalk quarries and lime works - another local industry of yesteryear
- our local school - how things have changed over the last 150 years
- changes in leisure activities - not just information about our football and cricket teams over the years, but also pheasant and rabbit shoots, early entertainments and social clubs
- how farming activity has changed - including the days of sheep rearing on the Downs
- our natural history: local birds, flowers, fungi and nature reserves.
Come along, have a look and see how much of your local history has been brought together.
The event is free, and people are being encouraged to bring any old photos, newspaper articles or other information related to Buriton.
