Elsie Marie Henderson.

The Hadlow Down Trust have been approached by an art collector and historian from Guernsey regarding the short biography we have put on the village web site of Elsie Marie Henderson.
We would like to collaborate with the gentleman who has been doing some research into the Stations of the Cross in St. Mark’s Church and the later years of Henderson’s life and death in Hadlow Down and subsequent burial in St. Mark’s in 1967.
It is believed she may still have some relatives in the village and there may also be others still here who remember her.
Any information will be helpful to our contact and the Trust who could possibly collaborate in mounting a small exhibition of her life and work in the village at some time in the future.
Please email ECWestfield@aol.com
Please read the biography on the village web site to avoid duplication of information.

Hadlow Down Drama & Variety Club Meeting

From the chair of HDD&VC:
I am delighted to be able to give you more exciting information about our next HDD&VC meeting on the 15th. May, which is at 7.30pm in the Village Hall.
We will be showing the wonderful film ‘The History Boys’ (rated 18). The History Boys is a 2006 British comedy-drama film adapted by Alan Bennet from his play of the same name  which won the 2005 Olivier Award for Best New Play and the 2006 Tony Award for Best Play.
A select number of boys, who managed to achieve grades which merit an application to Oxford or Cambridge in their A-Levels, experience a term of revelation at their grammar school as they are tutored for the “most important exam of their lives” in history.
On the evening we will be serving Wine and Cheese for you to enjoy whilst watching the film. There will be one glass of wine for everyone to enjoy, free of charge, and a selection of cheeses to go with it.
We want to make sure we cater for everyone so please let us know if you intend to come by emailing ellis.boswell@btinternet.com or ringing 07506889724. Do feel free to bring friends and family.
We are looking forward to seeing you all in May.
All the best,
Claire

For over 20 years Ken was a resident of Hadlow Down.

He was a much loved man and will be missed so dearly.
