Can you help Linda Hudson track down her ancestors?

Linda has sent us some wonderful photographs of residents of the parish in the 1920s and 1930s.

Do you recognise anyone in them? Do these names mean anything to you - Mary New, Geoff Hudson, Marjorie New, Frank New, Madeline Baverstock, Isabel New, Harry New, Hannah Pegler, John Peglar (son of Isabel New and Bob Peglar)? John is the little boy in the left corner of Connie's wedding photgraph; he would likely be about 80 now so may still be in the area.

Chilton Foliat is an ancient settlement, going back to Saxon times, and beyond.  It is a small village with a current population of just over 300 adults. And it's beautiful, with many ancient houses. You could say it's a typical English country village.

The village lies alongside the River Kennet, a very beautiful and clean chalkland river, much loved by fishermen.

This web site has been created by a villager, for the villagers, and aims to provide visitors and locals alike with information about the village. Any comments on how we can improve the site are always welcome. Click here for a map of the village published in 1773. And click here to go to an excellent site with over 16,000 words on the history of the village.
