PAUL Taylor, complete with hat and pipe, took a bath on the Winterbrook Youth Club float in the Harwell Feast parade in 1995. But what was the message they were trying to convey?

It took two years to make the tapestry in the second picture, one of two illustrating 1,000 years of village history to be hung in the parish church. Forty women were involved in the work.

In 1994, St Matthew’s Church was set to get a new church hall – the Rev Chris Stott and churchwarden Norman Ponting are pictured with the plans on the site in the third image.
