joined many groups in the village as a result of
knowing what goes on in our lovely village and I
will continue to do so.

If you are interested in this voluntary role
you will need to have skills in Microsoft Word,
emailing and downloading attachments.
If you have any skills in any publishing program
that would be fantastic, however when I took the
role on, I had no previous experience in
publishing! There are no costs involved, just your
time. Norman Groves deals with the advertising
and financial side of the magazine and does an
excellent job.

I am proposing to support the new editor for as
long as necessary rather than drop anyone in it
straight away but as I plan to stop after the May
issue, there isn’t much time left.

PoW Camp 116 Memories

With the ongoing discussions on the future development of the Prisoner of War Camp 116
in Mill Lane, last summer Mark Ratcliff organised some walks around the perimeter of the
camp (the developer not wanting to allow access into the camp grounds). Over several afternoons and an
evening, nine groups totalling 90 villagers and locals enjoyed a stroll down tracks few had visited before
with a knowledgeable commentary from Mark for 90 minutes. These walks also caused further memories
of the camp and its inmates to be aired.

Bob French wrote in to say that growing up in Sheering, he remembers that once after his father had
returned home following Demob in 1946 (when Bob was about 4 years old), he walked the family up to the
camp one summer Sunday afternoon to see the German prisoners from the adjacent field to say that was
the reason he had been away fighting in the war. His second memory was at Christmas in 1949 when the
1st Sheering Wolf Cub pack was taken by their Akela (Peggy Austin) one evening to sing carols to the Irish
workmen who were billeted there whilst helping build Harlow New Town and could not return home for
Christmas. They stayed for about 1½ hours.

Jacqueline Jackson remembers her father, Malcolm Jackson, told that as a young child growing up on
Ardley Crescent, he saw the Italian working parties marching off to work at Down Hall. The Italians loved
children and used to hand out sweets to them and he was given a woven belt and a ring fashioned out of a
coin. One Italian was seeing a lady on the crescent and if he was able to get a pass out for the evening then
he would tie a hanky to his stick on his shoulder to indicate to her that they could meet that night!

Its good that even now after all the passing years we are able to record new tales of the camp.

Our next meeting is on Tuesday 26th April at 7.30pm in the URC Church Hall in Hatfield Heath when Edna
Halls is talking about Memories of Hatfield Broad Oak.

her daughter, eighteen-year-old Clare France. [email protected]
After Henry's death, the three generations of
women have to cope with one another as best
they can, under their shared roof.

Our adaptation features Jaki Newman, Renee Joyce,
Becky Vincent and Adam Thompson and is directed by
Steve Foster.

The second show is an episode of "Steptoe and Son"
by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson. In this case the radio
shows were adapted from the successful BBC television
series that ran in the early 70s.

The series focused on the inter-generational
conflict of father and son. Albert Steptoe (played
by Wilfred Bramble), is an elderly rag-and-bone
man, set in his grimy and grasping ways. By
contrast, his son Harold (Harry H. Corbett) is filled
with social aspirations and pretensions.

Mark Ratcliff directs Steve Foster, Clive
Weatherley, Mita Upadhyaya and Ginny Elliston.

Growing Up
Village boy born and bred
Ration books gone so quite well fed
Values and behaviour to the fore
No 1 Bentley Villas on our door

Over the fields often seen
Or playing football on the green
Scrumping apples now and again
Hours just walking round Friars lane

Frozen ponds were a winter's treat
Out on the Heath the Hunt would meet
Playing cricket mind the road
Building the bonfire with another load

Catching tiddlers in Pincey Brook
Using a bent pin as a hook
Riding our bikes travelling miles
Goalposts were jerseys stacked in piles

Bread and dripping for Sunday tea
Nit nurse checking to see if you'd got a flea
Over the dirt track for a crafty smoke
Or by the Church in the burnt out oak.

NEWS FROM THE GARDENS OF EASTON LODGE
April 24th is our first full season Open Day at the Gardens of Easton Lodge and we are hoping for fantastic
weather and joyful visitors, to help us put the dark, windy and wet days of winter fully behind us. Last year the
April Open Day was the sunniest we had, so get our date into your diaries!

Since the new year, it has been one step forward, two back at the Gardens. Dry weather in January allowed us to
work steadily through our winter jobs, prepping for snowdrop open days. But once again, snowdrop season was
also storm season, so in March we have been clearing up all the dead wood, when it has not been too wet. We
know that trees can have limited lives and some of those planted in 1902, when the Countess of Warwick had her
Gardens at Easton Lodge remodelled by Harold Peto, are now becoming frail. So over recent years we have been
planting new trees to add different specimen trees and ensure succession. This last year many interesting
specimen trees were given to us by the widow of Henry Girling, who was a renowned arboriculturalist. Visitors
in April will be able to seek out all the new trees and the county champion trees in the Gardens; and there will be
a tree trail and craft activities for children.

April is a lovely month in the Gardens. The fresh leaves on the trees, particularly the acers, are stunning and there
is blossom on the plum trees in the walled kitchen garden. The daffodils are usually still massed in flower in the
Lime Wood and provide a carpet of yellow in the Glade; while the tulips look vibrant against the lime green of
the euphorbia in the Italian Garden.
The Trust’s volunteers will stand ready to welcome visitors from 11.00 and to provide the usual excellent fare at
the Gardens: local bacon rolls, or cheese or hummus, and homemade cakes, hot and cold drinks. And there will
be stalls too – plants, crafts and homemade jams.

For more details go to What’s On on our website www.eastonlodge.co.uk .

WHAT IS PROBUS ?

Probus is a local association of retired

with similarly retired men in the local
area.

We meet to have lunch and appreciate
each other’s companionship.

Invitation speakers bring a dimension on
