22 August 1914
Mr Brassey (Apethrorpe Hall) held a Patriotic Scheme public meeting to discuss the forming of a civilian company of National Reserves. Many at the meeting had said that there was no point as the war would be over in a couple of weeks.
The church choir Social Annual event in the village hall took place. Each member was allowed to bring one quest and a total of 50 were present. Owning to so few men it was difficult to get some of the sets together without the ladies dancing with ladies.
The local farmers were upset about the number of heavy horses and land workers that the Ministry of War was requisitioning leaving farmers short of labour.
