Souldrop not Felmersham
John Edwards of Harrold, formerly of Souldrop rang
to say that Figure 6.03. Felmersham United Football Club, c1953
is in fact the Souldrop football team! The footballer named as
Freddie Seanold is Freddie Seawold and was a former German
prisoner of war who stayed on in Souldrop after the war had finished.
John also played for Souldrop but is not in the photograph. |

Some photographs that arrived too late to be
included in the book

shows the Grange before it was divided into two dwellings and is a
good view of the east end. |

Harvesting wheat
with a Binder,
c1953.
Unfortunately this
photograph from Colin Payne arrived too late to be included in the
book. It provides the missing link in the book between
a binder being drawn by horses (Figure 8.08 p103) and the first
combine harvester used in the parish (Figures 8.12 and 8.13 p104).
The photograph shows
from left to right George Band (holding the cutter blade), Peter
Cook (sitting on the binder) and Morris Lovell keeping an eye on a
young Colin Payne driving the Fordson Standard tractor. |

Bronze age
burials at Radwell |
|
One of the burial monuments at Radwell
contained an upturned urn with cremated bone inside. Analysis of
the bone showed it was from an adult man and woman. Accompanying
the burial was a group of beads made from jet, amber and bone
which would have originally made up a necklace. Item 15 is an
amber bead and a jet toggle which is actually an ear stud. They
were found c1972 and they are on
display in The Higgins, Bedford. Details copied
from the display information card. See page 191 of Bygone
Felmersham and Radwell for more details of the discovery. |
