Little Rose Pub
The Little Rose pub recently played host to Siv Sears. He’s set himself a target of playing cribbage in every county in the UK and then perhaps setting up a national Cribbage competition. He’s a 38 year old Englishman with a passion for Cribbage. Having just returned to his native UK from China, where he’s have lived for most of the last 15 years, he’s been interested to find that Crib in the UK is very much locally organised, rather than both nationally and locally organised as he’s seen before in the States. As such, he’s set himself 4 goals. To see them, click Read More:-
This month’s post is in the form of an advertisement.
Regular readers will have noticed that the postings this year have been based upon news items printed in the ‘Cambridge Independent Press’ between 1901 and 1920. The Village Society is now publishing all the news items referring to Haslingfield in a book entitled ‘Haslingfield in the News, 1901-1920’. The book is 120 pages long, contains a large number of photographs, and will retail at only £6. It will be available from local shops, at Village Society events and directly from me at jf.beresford@ntlworld.com. All profits will go to the Village Society.
The book contains a range of stories including fires, accidents, scandals and biographies. It is the ideal Christmas stocking-filler for members and friends of the family in Haslingfield, and for those who have moved away. It follows on directly from ‘The Haslingfield Chronicle, 1776-1900’ which is still on sale for £3.50. We hope to publish news items after 1920 as they become available.
Buy, and enjoy!

Haslingfield’s very own Petanque team, have just been crowned Champions of Division 1 of the Central Cambs League. It’s the 6th time in 7 years that the team have won the league. The team, made up of players Jim, Handbag, Steely, Alex, Nick, Neil and Kayleigh, won the league with one match left to play. The Foxton White Horse B team came second. This comes shortly after the Little Rose Team won the East Anglian Air Ambulance Petanque competition. Full details of the league are here:- http://www.almostolympians.org/
Being in debt, and ill, was not a good state to be in in 1901. Thomas Purkin, or possibly Purkis, a 55-year-old labourer from Haslingfield, was committed to the County Gaol on September 27th. He was examined by the prison surgeon, and found to be suffering from “bonal disease of the thigh”. He was immediately sent to the hospital ward, and put on a special diet. He apparently knew of his serious condition, and said he was dying in greater comfort than he would have at home. He then developed pneumonia. Read more
