Normandy in the Press
Before 1900

“Normandy in the Press” presents a past view and happenings of the village as seen from selected reports and articles in the local papers. The reader should note that until 1955 Normandy was predominantly part of Ash, Willey Green was part of Worplesdon and a small part of Flexford was in Wanborough.

The researched material held at County Libraries and Record Offices was hand-copied over a number of years by society member Peter Trevaskis. Those notes have been subsequently transcribed by members: Alan Norris, Eira and James Nursaw; Emma Rafferty; Peter Blakiston and Stephen Cranstone.

Whilst every effort has been made to ensure correctness in the copying and transcribing, readers are advised to refer to the original newspaper source for the full account.

Ash Parish Council Meeting
Tuesday 15 January, 1895
The Meeting Place - After some discussion, it was decided that the next meeting of the Council, and every third meeting after, be held at Normandy. Mr Mclaren strongly opposed this, contending that they should have one fixed place of meeting. The Chairman also thought there were reasons why they should not go perambulating about the district. The motion by Mr Emmings, however, was carried, and Normandy electors will have a chance of being present at an occasional meeting of the Council.
