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.
