On this day, the hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of the Great War, it seems appropriate to remember those in our village who died in service. I’m grateful to John Beynon’s exhaustive account in ‘That Their Names Shall Live’ for the following details.
The loss of 17 men in a village the size of Haslingfield would impact upon most households, but it is a story repeated across the United Kingdom. I’ve just stayed at Edgefield, in North Norfolk, which was no more than a handful of cottages in 1914, and even there five men were lost in the war. In Haslingfield two Barnards (Elias and Josiah), Jennings (Alick and Harry) and Newlings (Ted and William) were all killed in action. Two others were lost at sea – George Coveney in an accidental explosion in Sheerness and Albert Flack at the battle of Jutland. A number died in major battles – Frederick Goode, Harry Jennings and Arthur Pagram at the Somme, Frederick Charles and Alick Jennings at Arras, and Ernest Mills at Passchendaele.
Only William Daintry is buried in Haslingfield. William Douglas was buried in Belgium, and William Hoy in northern France. Tragically, the remaining fourteen have no known graves.
The Little Rose Petanque team is currently top of its petanque league. They play in the Central Cams Petanque league and have won all their matches so far this season.
In January 2013 Haslingfield Village saw the return of Mini Soccer for children between the ages of 5 and 7. As part of the already well established Haslingfield Colts FC that had been running for over 8 years, and under the guidance of FA Qualified Head Coach Chris Coleridge, training started on Saturdays mornings for an hour each week with a small group of 7 year olds.
It is still a matter of some debate on how much the Great War impacted on life in a rural community like Haslingfield. John Beynon, in his ‘The Call to Arms’, outlines the impact on individual families whose menfolk either enlisted or who sought, through exemption, not to enlist. But was there a collective impact?

Unsurprisingly, Cambridge businesses were keen to stress their patriotic credentials during the First World War. In the month that the Expeditionary Force landed in France, August 1914, Horniman’s announced no increase in the price of their tea. A month later Eaden Lilley, conscious perhaps of some customer grumbling, placed an ad in the Cambridge Chronicle, as follows: Read more
From today (Wednesday 28th May) the Little Rose pub has a new manager, James McEwan. James has taken over from Alison and Steven James, and the pub is still being run by MetroInns Ltd. The company took over the tenancy of The Little Rose in September last year in a temporary deal with Greene King. James will be running the pub until its future is confirmed.
