The following article appeared in The Western Daily Press on 23rd
July 1919:- Peace Day was celebrated in Tytherington on Monday, and
the inhabitants of this village were able to enter into all the
jollifications in the fine weather. Splendid arrangements were
made and the day will be a red letter one in the history of the parish
for all time. First of all there was an assembly at the Council
School when Mr C Fry, who was specially given the title of constable for
the occasion read the Proclamation. This was an impressive
feature, Mr Fry doing full justice to the importance of the historic
announcement. A speech by Rev. A. W. Swayne followed, and then
there was a procession, headed by the Tytherington Prize Band to the
Hill. Sports for children, a bountiful tea for the bairns and
adults resident in the parish, including Baden Hill, with sports and
dancing for the grown-up folk in the evening provided great pleasure for
all. It was indeed a great day for the parish, and those
responsible for the arrangements are to be congratulted up the success
schieved. |
