Death of Mrs Harradence
The death of Mrs E. Harradence has removed yet another of our old inhabitants.
The deceased has been in failing health since her husband's death a year ago. She was 74 years of age, and during her illness received every possible attention and kindness from her daughter, Mrs H. Jackson, with whom she has resided for over twelve months.
He [sic] end came on February 8th. Her large family are now greatly scattered - two sons being in Canada and one at Southend. The funeral takes place at Layston on Monday. The deep sympathy of many friends in Buntingford is extended to the family.

20th Jan 1928 - Layston Choir Social
Layston Choir Social
The members of the Layston Church Choir, together with the Sunday School teachers, numbering about twenty, were entertained at the Vicarage on Thursday evening in last week by the Rev. and Mrs Howard. Some members were unable to be present owing to illness.
Following various parlour games, in which the amusing and absurd actions of the players caused roars of laughter, the company assembled in the dining room, where an excellent repast was served and, needless to say, this was greatly enjoyed.
Following this, further games were indulged in, and the spirit of jollity reached its height. Songs were then contributed by individual members, and all joined in the singing of "Home, Sweet Home" and other well-known songs, Miss M. Macklin ably presiding at the piano.
The singing of two hymns, and the reading of a psalm and prayer offered by the Vicar, concluded a most enjoyable evening, which passed all to quickly. Before dispersing shortly before midnight, Mr G. Hill, on behalf of all present, thanked the Rev. and Mrs Howard for their kindness in entertaining them that night, and the Vicar suitably replied.
