David and Hazel Bell of Croft Lane are pleased to announce the birth of their first grandson. Oliver Reginald Maker was born safely on 19 September to proud parents Elizabeth and Steve. The baby weighed in at 6lbs 10oz and the family are all progressing well.

Best wishes to Joan Jackson, formerly of Little Windmill Hill, now living in Kings Langley, who celebrates her 90th birthday this month.

We regret to announce that following a long illness, Joan Beavis of The Common died peacefully on 9 October.
We extend our sympathy to her husband John and all members of the family.
