Lots of people paid a visit to the village hall on 11th August and enjoyed viewing the displays and artefacts alongwith meeting author Trevor Sully who was launching his book ‘Silas and the Mountfield Treasure’ there. it was interesting to look at lots of photographs and read information about different aspects of Mountfield over the years. There was plenty to look at on the display boards about Mountfield Court, farming, the village hall, Mountfield and Whatlington School, the old Methodist Chapel, Mountfield Halt, the gypsum mines and Mountfield Church. Items found buried in land around the village were also displayed including bottles, clay pipes, peices of china and tools. Trish Jones was present with copies of the two volumes of ‘Mountfield Meanderings’ which she wrote. It was nice to meet Trevor and have a chat about his book. I have bought a copy and am looking forward to reading it just like a lot of others are I am sure!
