It has been a couple of months since we checked in on the Badsey Society’s website for their Badsey, Aldington and Wickhamford #OnePlaceStudy. In that time many more articles have been added, on a range of topics from sprout picking to steam trains, and from horse theft to hovels. #OnePlaceWednesday
