History of the Allotments

In 1976, the Parish Council leased land at Springal Hill from the District Council to provide 14 allotments (for £3pa large, £2 small). In the first instance they were offered to residents living at Brown’s Rise.  A draw was organised by the Parish Clerk so all residents who had applied had a fair chance of getting a good spot. The Council purchased the land for £500 in 1982.
