Village Life

We are researching Frampton at the beginning of the twentieth century and how the village was changed by what went on during the First World War. This picture shows ‘The Street’ pre-war. The census of 1911 tells us that there were not only butchers, bakers and grocers, but also tailors, blacksmiths, builders, plumbers and market gardeners - we were more or less self-sufficient, with 12 farms that employed at least 70 villagers, and a whole range of tradesmen.

Do you have any photographs of the village between 1900 and 1930, perhaps one of the football or cricket team or a wedding at the church? 
Please do contact us with any family stories of this time - which we would be delighted to use on this website.
