we should take advantage of their professionalism and experience; specially designed accommodation and excellent reading room facilities for researching and eventually all was handed over to them. It was a happy co-operation and Fulmer’s past is now available for those wishing to look up family histories, happenings, environmental changes and so on. And what of the physical shape of Fulmer? In the past 25 years have we managed to sustain its character and many would say, its charm? Fulmer was fortunate that pre- World War II the families who owned most of the Parish agreed certain rules governing development and this was helped by the introduction of the Green Belt and subsequent Town and Country Planning Acts. Ribbon Development was seen as a great threat to the countryside and this form of control has survived throughout the period but may be subject to revision as some current proposals go through. The construction of the M25 and M40 had caused us some problems – do you remember Low Farm the ‘Quicksands’ Warning Boards on the unfilled gravel pits by Low Farm. Fly tipping on a major scale, most especially at the end of Hay Lane, gave rise to two Courts of Inquiry but we won and the restoration has worked well. The installation of the Main Drainage Scheme disrupted the Village for almost a year but there have been no lasting scars and the benefits have been enormous. Many of our buildings, private and public, have been well restored but we have lost the Village Shop and Post Office (in 1995) which had been such an important meeting place in our community life together. Our successes in the Best Kept Village Competition have bestowed on us a discipline and a pride in our houses, gardens, churchyard, roads and lanes. There has been a joy and satisfaction in maintaining a high standard. But the essence of Fulmer and its People, be they residents, Church congregation, the children in our schools and team members of the Recreation Ground. The tributes written for the Personalia section of the Newsletter remind us of some great and clever people whom we see no more but whose memories remain. By being part of the Fulmer Community they, in their time, have carried forward the Fulmer Torch. To their successors we wish a Very Happy Christmas and a confident look to the New Year despite the current prevailing economic gloom.

“Why is it that at sixteen women have better skin than men, but at sixty men have better skin than women?
