  Text Box:   In 1949 Berkswich Women’s Institute published a booklet entitled “The Story of Berkswich”.  Each chapter told of a different aspect of life in the Parish and there were no photographs.  Now 60 years later Berkswich History Society, with the co-operation of the W.I., the book has been republished  together with photographs, drawings and a copy of the 1840 Tithe Map.  However, the story of the parish doesnot stop in 1949 but continues to the present day.  The book contains pictures of buildings long since gone, such as Stockton Farm, Barnfields Farm, Weeping Cross House and many other interesting photographs.  It tells the stories of “The butcher and the Maggots”, “The removal of the boulder stone” from Spring Hill by a group of young “hooligans”, how the Sister Dora Convalescent Home came to be at Milford, and much, much more. The book is on sale from £10 and will make an ideal present for someone in your family, or for friends who have left the area but would like a reminder of their time in the Parish.  The book can be obtained from, "Eastfield, Kitlings Lane, Walton on the Hill, 53 Old Croft Road, Walton on the Hill, Bridle Road Post Office and Holy Trinity Church.   Books can be collected from Mr R. Morton, Eastfield, Kitlings Lane,Walton on the Hill, Stafford, ST17 0LE or from Mrs B. Holt, 53 Old Croft Road, Walton on the Hill, to avoid p & p charges.
