The 186-page book, containing more than 100 photographs, traces the story of the village decade by decade from 1901 to 2000. Designed by graphic designer and Heritage Group vice-chairman David Turner, it explores how Harbury evolved from a small rural community into the thriving village it is today.

Drawing on parish council records, school log books and editions of the Harbury and Ladbroke News, the book highlights many of the key events, challenges and achievements that shaped village life over the past century.

20th Century Harbury is available from Harbury Library, the Harbury Heritage Centre, and directly from the author.

Copies cost £8.50. For further information, email group@harburyheritage.org.uk.

All profit goes to the running of the Heritage Centre.

A BIG THANK YOU to the 28 teams (a record), who turned up to the Treasure Hunt on Sunday 20th September in perfect weather. The overall winner was the Gladden family with full marks! There were 7 x runners up; the Lewin family came first out of the hat followed by the Walker family; they both received prizes. The others in the hat were the Bloxhams, the Wadland family, the Birch family, the Bowell family and the Hamilton family. Well done to everyone who took part and to our volunteers who ran the event. All the profits go towards running the Centre.
