The History of our Village
For you historians or people just interested in Wing in days of yore you can do no better than to look at the most authoritative history of the village (1), which can be found on the British History Online website. This is a treasure trove of information about the history of the whole of Britain.

Many Thanks to all of you for kindly donating sandwiches and cakes. All expenses were covered by money made from 2015 lunches, so the £82 donated at the party is for Sue Ryder, Thorpe Hall Hospice at Peterborough.

Urgent Grazing for a Pony
We have received this from Ruth Deane. If anyone can help please call her on Ruth Deane
07980 733241 send an email to Editor@wingrutland.uk
I am living in Lyndon and desperately seeking some alternative grazing for my pony for 6 months of the year (winter). I wondered if there was anyone locally you might know of who could help please? I don’t know many people in the area and feel a bit cut off from everything.
My landlord Edward Conant has no available land for me in case you might consider this to be an option. So ideally Wing or Pilton would be really helpful.Thank you so much.
