The Sibfords Society
Our Midsummer walk, led by Arnold and Ina Lamb, took place on a beautiful sunny afternoon. We walked from Grounds Farm to Swalcliffe Common, seeing the site of old ponds and some enormous, rare Roman snails on the way. Arnold explained the workings of the pump, which has provided spring water for the farm, without fail, for over 100 years. Many thanks to Ina and Arnold for such a delightful afternoon in such lovely surroundings.
On the 20 August we have a trip around the Hook Norton Brewery at 10.00 am. Please arrive a little early, so we can park cars, etc.

I sent to the Lands’ Improvement Company £9.5.11 being the last instalment of a loan made to the Sibford Town Estates 25 years ago for improving buildings at Sibford Heath Farm.
Annie Webb, daughter of Eli Webb of Sibford Ferris called to ask my advice. She has given birth to a child in her father’s house of which she declares the father to be a young man living in the town where she had been in service for some years and who refuses to pay anything for the support of the child. I recommended her to apply to a respectable solicitor in Banbury to take out a summons against him. He said he promised marriage before he seduced her, and then behaved very ill. I spoke seriously to her about her sin etc, and she promised to act on my advice. The result was that the man offered to marry her – and I married them a few weeks afterwards.
