Hilary, this wonderfull site's not just about the Parish Records and the Forum, there's a host of other great items to be seen including old documents, newpaper articles, EBooks, etc etc. An example is this interesting article which describes farming times around Hewelsfield, very near Woolaston, at about the time of the Great War. It particularly mentions the buying off horses for the Army.

This and other great items can be searched from the search engine accessed from the menu on the lefthand edge of the homepage.
