The grazing of North Meadow.

The Hayward of The Manorial Court of the Hundred and Borough of Cricklade advises that there will be 71 cattle on North Meadow for the next few weeks and up to 20 horses until the end of the year. There are caution notices on every entrance to assist visitors. Grazing is a vital part of maintaining our National Nature Reserve. Hundreds of years of Lammas management (hay crop taken in July followed by aftermath grazing) is why North Meadow has such a unique and special biodiversity.

Cricklade in Bloom 2018.

The floral displays in Cricklade this year were exceptional, despite the extreme heat over the summer. Very well done to all our winners. More details can be found at this link and in the October edition of The Chronicle.

Cricklade War Memorial marks the Centenary of WW1.

To mark the centenary of WW1, 32 individual crosses have been placed at the War Memorial, each cross has the name and age of the soldiers who lost their lives.

The Council would like to thank the Cricklade Royal British Legion (especially Barry Arthurs) for their involvement.
