Samuel Wright
Samuel Wright is one of the latest people we are researching. New information has come to hand recently as we have been contacted by Charles Wright a relative of Samuel's and also Father Edward Martin who has Samuel's prayer book in his collection. We have also discovered two large slabs behind the Church which we believe lead to a vault where Samuel is buried.

Baileys the Butchers
BAILEYS THE BUTCHERS This village institution was run by four generations of the Bailey family, starting with Fred Bailey in 1905. Their pork pies were famous, not just in the village and all the surrounding area, but the Test Match Cricket Commentary team were well known devotees when England were playing at Trent Bridge. Sadly Baileys closed their doors in 2017, this history of their pork pie business was written by Pat Bishop and published in 1992.
