A small illustrated booklet entitled A Walk Around Chipperfield Common in the Reign of Queen Victoria has been published by the Parish Council. Copies priced at 75p are available at Blackwells, Chipperfield Larder, the Post Office Stores and StanleyÕs Store.
The booklet originated with material prepared by Mary Nobbs to support the work that St PaulÕs School does as part of the National Curriculum to look at the local environment in Victorian times. It takes the form of a short walk around the Common studying the houses and describing their history. Although primarily designed for children, the Parish Council felt that the booklet would be of interest to a wider audience and decided to publish it for wider circulation. It includes a map and 16 illustrations.
Proceeds from the sale of the booklet will be donated to St PaulÕs School.
