Test your knowledge of Sunningwell trivia
• Which Bayworth resident was known as ‘Cheng Ling Foo’ (pictured above) and was one of Ghandi’s gaolers?
• Where is the other Sunningwell?
• Which former Rector rode a tricycle (into the pond it is said!)?
• What was Lord Nuffield’s connection with Sunningwell?
• Where in the parish were the local children taught to swim?
• How did the parish celebrate the Queen’s coronation?
• Why couldn’t a young Sunningwell evacuee eat her pigeon pie?
• Which resident called his wife “ooman”?
• Which of the ‘native’ folk still carried a club?
• Why were the barrels always smoking in the village hall?
The answer to these and many other questions about our parish and its people will be found in ‘Sunningwell and Bayworth - A 20th century portrait’ when published - hand-in -hand with a wealth of other intriguing facts and photos about the past community. However, there is still some room in the forthcoming publication for other stories and old photos that you may wish to have included. All such material, if suitable, will be copied and returned promptly.
The project is an entirely non-profit-making venture to record the local memories of the last century before they are lost, and, put together with the kindness and assistance of many local people who will be duly acknowledged. Funding for the project is at our own expense.
