George V coronation celebrations at Parsonage farm (Bottisham, Lode and Swaffham Bulbeck combined)
Noel Newman in Recollections of Seventy Years’ Farming in Bottisham: Parsonage Farm was where the Sunday School treat was held each year. The big barn was cleaned up and corn sacks (not sacks of corn) were laid on the floor for the children to sit on for tea. The farm hands fixed up swings in the cart sheds; games and competitions took place in the meadow. This was discontinued at the beginning of the First War. In 1911 it was the centre of the George V Coronation Celebration. The parishes of Lode and Swaffham Bulbeck joined Bottisham in this venture. I was too young to know anything about the organisation, but it must have been pretty good as all who came sat down to a ham tea in the big barn and cart sheds. I know my father was in his element on this sort of occasion. Every year there were social occasions to be enjoyed – the Village Feast, Plough Monday, shooting suppers, Good Friday, village concerts and the Flower Show.
