This talk will be given by Ceri Vyner.
She will talk about life in Little Somerford as it was in the 1950s & 60s and the changes which took place during that time, with reference to some of the places & characters in the village then.
When Ceri and her brothers moved to Fern Cottage in the small North Wiltshire village of Little Somerford, they discovered a place unchanged by modern life. The kitchen garden was a riot of fruit trees and vegetables, and the old farming family next door still worked the land with horses. She also remembers well the old shop and the school.
It is relatively recent history but compared to life today it was another world, which she captured in her memoir ‘Let’n Went’ – a link is given below.
