Clavering Jubilee Nature Trail

The Clavering Countryside Group has now obtained sufficient grants to provide two information boards and a supply of leaflets for the Jubilee Nature Trail which aims to join up three important habitats – Simons Wood, Dick Ball Meadow and Lower Hill Green. The trail will be launched on Sunday 3rd June as part of the village Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Further news nearer the date.

Wartime Clavering

The book about Clavering in wartime is now nearing completion and has been so incredibly interesting to research, and people have been most generous in sharing their photos, memories and documents on those in uniform. I am hoping people can also help with the final phase of the research, which is information about those who did other kinds of war work in industry, ATS, NAAFI, VAD, munitions and other factories etc, and particularly women whose wartime work is often overlooked. Any further contributions would be very welcome.
