Just listened to the programme. It's so interesting how your information has come about.
My granny would have been 10 in 1924 and I remember when we were younger she spoke of the tragidy,although unwilling as it was something that had affected the whole community.
Hope the weather hold out for this year!!

Thanks for thse posts. I thought I had missed the programme but have been able to 'listen again'. Susan, you came over very well - 'posh voice' or not!
If anyone wants to join in this years walk, the date is 27 April (Rogation Sunday). We wont be beating any markers with willow wands or up-ending chiorboys but I can garuantee a good walk. Statistically the weather should be on our side - we can't surely have three wet years in a row.

I hope you enjoy the programme, Julie.
I covered my ears at the points were I was speaking but my Mum said I was fine, no bias!, and that I had used my posh voice.

John
I'm pleased you were able to listen to the programme - the broadcast date had been changed from January 27th to February 10th so you probably heard it about the same time I did!
I was delighted that my finding the photo of the funeral and the Daily Sketch page,in the gallery of the Charlbury site, were included in the programme as they were what sparked my interest and started me on my 'Beating of the Bounds' information hunt.
Thank you to everyone responsible for 'charlbury.info'.
Best wishes,
Susan
