To find out how Hertfordshire people celebrated the Millennium Year, treat yourself to a new book called

Community Life in Hertfordshire -2000. It has been launched by the Hertfordshire Association for Local History Recorders Group and copies are available at the Chipperfield Larder at a price of £10. Each of the 65 towns and villages featured is introduced by a potted history, followed by a description of the years events. At the Parish Councils suggestion, Mary Nobbs sent a contribution on behalf of Chipperfield, so village events during 2000 have been recorded for posterity. Why not enjoy reading about these, together with entries from Abbots Langley, Berkhamsted, Sarratt, Bovingdon, Chorleywood, Hemel Hempstead and Watford, to name but a few?
