During the first week of January 1836, the young daughter of William Sessions was standing alone by the fire when her clothes caught the flame and became suddenly in blaze. In her fright she ran through the house and met her father who was himself very much burnt in the hands and face in endeavouring to extinguish the flames. The poor young woman was so dreadfully injured that Mr. Murlin, a medical gentleman from the town, immediately announced the case to be hopeless and the unfortunate sufferer died the second day after the accident. A verdict of accidental death was recorded at the inquest.

Application Ref 2/89/0218/0 made by Grand Metropolitan January 1989 to build two bungalows and garages on the former bowling green.
At the parish council meeting, May 1990, Mr. Gare confirmed that the proposed developments on the bowling green had been turned down on appeal. He confirmed that Grand Met had granted him a 20 year lease on the bowling ground and the green was open to all villagers.
