The July/August 2025 Edition
Our front cover features the yarnbomb display for VE 80 in the Hertford Castle grounds featuring military,
civilian and animal heroes from 1945 and 2025 and scenes from a street party.
Among the carefully crafted items were land girl Agnes Mant and Gordon Taylor of the Home Guard who met in Hertingfordbury. Their story continued as they married in Holy Trinity Bengeo in 1950 had two daughters who are yarnbombers: the eldest Marilyn made her parents’ figures for the display.
The choir ‘Just Love to Sing’ took part in the VE day street party in Duncombe Road among residents in 1940s outfits.
There are plenty of other events on offer in Bengeo this summer announced in the pages of the magazine. But if you want to get away from it all then seek out Bridget’s plant of the month, Purple Loosestrife, in the fields and open spaces around Bengeo.
