My Years In North Marston
A Memory of North Marston.
I lived in North Marston in the 1950s, at 25 Quainton Road My Grandfather Ezra Rawlings was a tailor. I remember bonfire night on the sports field, cycling down Church Hill, Christmas carols, Friday night youth club in the school hall and being sent to the Cox's shop for a packet of Woods or Weights cigarettes for my grandfather.
I emigrated to Australia in 1961, but I will never forget the fun I had in North Marston, with Jim Tattam, Simon Carter, and Janet Gowin, also David Holden, and the rest of our gang, I also remember Lawrence Young standing as umpire in his white dust coat, and I was the scorer for the village cricket team. In those days we made our own fun, and was never bored, I feel sorry for the youth of today, they say they have nothing to do.If any body reading this, knows the where abouts of Sandra Tickner, who was a Whitchurch lass, I would very much like to get in touch with her.Thank you to your members, I have found Sandra and we are in contact with each other.

I am interested to know where I can purchase a book on North Marston in which I believe there is one solely about the village.
I am Louise Percy daughter of Doug and Chloe, I was born in the diary of Crandon Farm some 53 years ago now.
In actual fact I saw Godfrey Rawlings not other day and he was the one who enlightened me of said book.
Can anyone help please?
I am a member of North Marston history club, it was my first items that sowed the seed, the address where you can get a copy of the book is with my cousin Janet Gowing, the contact address is :Janet Gowing
