I'm quite glad that Margaret Pattison died before discovering her efforts over four years of her life were actually pointless.

The image shows a close-up of a printed information card with text and a black-and-white photograph. The card is angled slightly, resting on a textured, dark-colored surface. The card’s background is light-colored with ornate, swirling designs in the corners. To the right of the text is a portrait of a person, identified as “Margaret Pattison, Monument Recorder”. The text on the card reads: "Cemeteries usually have a record of who is buried where. This record for this cemetery was, according to rumour, lost in a fire, although we know it used to be kept in the porch of the lodge. Between 1978 and 1982 Margaret Pattison, almost single-handedly, recorded the legible gravestones. In 2013 we discovered Account books exist, which The Berkshire Record Office, that list everybody buried in the cemetery. This includes stillborn babies, but we will probably never know exactly where most are buried.”

So #Newbury Museum most will tell you opened in 1904. It has been through numerous changes, today is West Berkshire Museum. However it has its origins much earlier as part of the Literary and Scientific Institution which is first (the museum) mentioned (I can find) in 1853.

Looking at the Belfast Telegraph 15 June 1872 via @BNArchive and it rightly has Mark Tuck (nickbits.co.uk/blog/2022/03/be) of #Newbury placed in the stocks. It says stocks not used for 26 years. Article even then was wrong. Got several uses in the late 1840s and 1850s. Indeed got a growing list around this time of those put in both #Newbury and #Thatcham stocks and a few in #Greenham and #Donnington and #Speenhamland.

A forum buddy has had his lovely looking Stooge Speedball stolen from #Newbury #Berkshire (UK) train station. Keep an eye out, yeah? #cycling #bikeTooter #mtb

I'm sad to hear the #newbury #hamradio rally has been cancelled this year. In my experience it was well organised and I always ended up buying useful :radio_tower: stuff. 🤞for next year nadars.org.uk/

Thomas "Berkshire" Blake was the last person to be placed in the stocks in #Thatcham, 1852. Mark Tuck was placed in the stocks in #Newbury in 1872 and was the last in the country - read the post - nickbits.co.uk/blog/2022/03/be

For those interested in the Roman Cemetery in #Newbury, Dr David Peacocks book is an excellent and up to date record, well worth a read.

Cover of the book, Newbury Roman Cemetery by Dr David Peacock.

The first #Newbury Horticultural Society appears to have been formed by 1828 but faded away sometime after 1836 but being restarted in 1848.

That Simpsons episode where Bart steals the head of the statue of Springfield's founder, but Paddington Bear was never a notorious Dutch pirate

Hard not to wake up in the foredawn at Adso's so I got going up and early. Made sense to take a shortcut through the Old Forest, I knows a few paths there. Bloody great spiders but like most things if you don't bother them they won't bother you.

Made it to Newbury in Buckland, stopped off to tell Saradoc Brandybuck 'bout the troubles up East. Someone lost a sheep as I remember, wandering past the smials like it owned the place.

Les médias 🇷🇺 s'efforcent de relayer à grande échelle les accusations selon lesquelles « une unité des cyberforces 🇬🇧 » serait impliquée dans les attaques informatiques ayant paralysées des infrastructures en lien avec les activités de Rosnef & Lukoil afin, selon eux, de « saboter » les accords russo-américains. #uk #cyber #newbury #threats

In 1883 The Marsh in #Newbury was renamed the People's Park. And in 1897 it was renamed again to Victoria Park. Some of the facts in my Newbury 365 book (second edition in progress).
