I can remember in the late 1940s Gymkhanas being held in the field behind the Manor, then owned by Mister Glazebrook. I remember after one very large lady had done her jumping round one of the locals shouting "Now thee get off and give the hoss (horse) a ride". As children I also remember standing round the same fields at harvest time armed with sticks in the hope we could kill a rabbit as they ran out of the corn.
