2001 saw a major break with history, as the first female tithingman was appointed by the Hocktide Court to undertake duty on Tuttiday.
Barbra Barr and Greg Furr were the tithingmen on this momentous day.
Berkshires Local Nature Recovery Strategy workshop was held in the Corn Exchange at The Town Hall last Tuesday.
The wonderful team at ARK gave an amazing presentation on the work that they have been doing lately. We had had representatives talk about the new Wetland project that we hope will be kicking off later this year.
So much amazing information in such little time!

‼️‼️ The Common & The Cows ‼️‼️
We are aware that number 50 is struggling. She is physically ok but has probably eaten something unpleasant.
Number 41 has a bad left rear hoof. We are monitoring her and will round her up for a jab if she does not recover in a day or two.
She has probably got some broken glass in the hoof. We shall keep an eye on her.
Please please remember that the cows are on the common for a while. Please take EVERYTHING you take on to the common home.

Would it not be worth putting a contact number for folk to contact, should they have concerns, gather having on social media?
How many Cows are on the common?
Have you been on to the Town & Manor's website recently?
There is so much information about the town and the history that it holds!
It is definitely worth taking a look and leaning about our wonderful town that is steeped in history.

🐄🐄 The Cows Are Back 🐄🐄
Please take extra care over the coming weeks and months whilst the wonderful cows arrive back on to the common!
These are young cows and haven't seen moving bits of metal on wheels before - therefore, please do not expect them to move immediately or understand that vehicles can be dangerous to them.
We've put up new signs. We really don't want any cows to be harmed this year. Please take notice of the signs.
Thank Moo… oh, we mean, You!

Thank you to every single person who helped us celebrate Hocktide this year.
From the evening of Ale Tasting🍻, to a wonderful Tutti Day 🌼and then on to the Constable Sunday Service where the wonderful town band led us to St. Lawrence’s Church🎺.
Do look at a selection of photos below of each part of Hocktide!
If you have any, please do add them in on the comments🎉
The more the merrier!!
