A Piece of Art Calendar The New Forest Explained! New Forest Verderer, Richard Deakin, gave a very informative presentation to Hythe & Waterside Rotary recently which culminated in a very intense question and answer session. Richard explained all about the Verderer’s Court, e Verderers, Agisters and Commoning as well as all the di erent organisations involved in managing and protecting such a spectacular landscape. A Rotary spokesman said: “I think it is obvious that it is not just tourists and visitors to the New Forest that are often unaware of the history and make-up of our wonderful woodlands. Many of us who live locally can also be oblivious of all that goes on to keep this area so special”. Richard was warmly thanked for giving the group and their visitors such an enjoyable evening. Final Regular ‘Tales From the Graveyard’ coming in the New Year Over the past couple of year’s Patricia HedleyGoddard’s ‘Tales from the Graveyard’ have given us a look back in history, detailing the fascinating lives of some of the 4000 people buried or interred in the graveyard of All Saint’s Church in Fawley. With other projects in the pipeline, Patricia has made the decision to write her nal regular ‘Tales From the Graveyard’, with an extended feature detailing the life of the late Maldwin Drummond, which will be published in our 5th January edition of e Herald. Fans of Patricia’s Tales from the Graveyard can still purchase her book: Tales from the Graveyard of All Saints Church Fawley, which features a fascinating collection of 16 stories widely acclaimed when published in e Herald, during 2021. e book is available for £4 (cash only please) from the Herald O ce, with proceeds going to local charities. A huge ‘Thank You’ to Patricia for the many hours that she has spent researching, interviewing family members and writing the Tales for us all to enjoy.
