Ryhill and havercroft
History Pages
When I browsed the net and found a Chronology for the nearby village of Walton, I showed it to my wife and bemoaned the fact that there was no such document for Ryhill.
My wife gave me the sort of advice one would expect from a Ryhill lass, born in Lafflands Lane and brought up in the village - she said,
"Well don't just sit there moaning about it - write one!"
So I have!
If you can add to these chronologies by giving me dates (particularly more recent ones) important to the villages then I will be pleased to up date the document. I am particularly interested in knowing when various organisations, - band, cricket club, etc., were set up.
Please feel free to e-mail me with your comments.
