Clifton-upon-Teme
News - 100 Years Ago
A
man named William Cunningham, whilst lighting a lamp at
Clifton-on-Teme on Saturday evening, fell and the wheel
of a vehicle which was passing at the time went over his
left leg, breaking it. He was taken to the Cottage Hospital
at Bromyard.
At a cost of upwards of £20
an exquisite new white silk altar cloth has been purchased
for Clifton church, which for the first time adorned the
Communion table on Easter Sunday morning. The cost is not
fully paid, but a bazaar will be held at the Vicarage during
the summer months in aid of the altar cloth fund.
Since the formation of the
Sub-Post Office at Shelsley Walsh there has been occasion
for much complaint in regard to letters being much later
in the morning, and the letter box closing earlier in the
evening, besides letters being constantly mis-sent and delayed
during transit through post. As a medium for remedying the
unsatisfactory working of the arrangement a petition to
the Worcester Postmaster is being signed, praying him to
have letters despatched directly to and from Clifton as
heretofore.
