ROLLRIGHT PAST & PRESENT

Update on 7th May 2009 - David Wraight and Ken Absalom are no longer involved with the Great Rollright History Group and their details have been removed.

Update on 11th April 2001 - Unfortunately all copies have now been sold. David Wraight (see below) is taking names and addresses of interested purchasers if there is sufficient demand for a reprint.

On Saturday 17th March 2001 at Great Rollright Village Hall the Great Rollright History Group launched a book entitled 'ROLLRIGHT PAST & PRESENT'.
The promotion note that I received described it as 'It comprises over 270 pages of informative text and in excess of 80 pictures of Great and Little Rollright. The topics covered, include the two parish churches, the layout of St Andrew's churchyard, the village primary school, the wars, the parish council and much of the social history of the two villages.'

The book costs 12.99 UKP plus postage and package. I've made enquiries about the P&P and the following amounts have been put forward (based on cost):
 
'small package/airmail'
 

The GRHG have decided that all foreign payments must be by a Sterling cheque and that Eurocheques are not acceptable.

Cheques/Checks should be payable to Great Rollright History Group.

I have checked my records of the Great Rollright graves taken in 1987 against the information in Appendix 4 of the new book. I have the following differences:

A15 Ann Baughan wife of Henry died 9th January 1681/2

A25 This ones needs further checking. I only had reference to William but that could be wrong. The date I have is 2705/1804 and that ties in with the burial record for Elizabeth.

A19 Henry Baughan died on 26/05/1880

A14 Jane is correct. But the grave (it's the unusual square pedestal) also included John (12/03/1779), the husband, and William (30/07/1809), a son.

A24 William Baughan died 06/07/1843

A26 Elizabeth Baughan (nee Williams) was first married to William Carpenter and then to Thomas Baughan.
