DKHomeImprove_Ad02:Layout 1 Welcome to the June issue of on the button. This month the biggest news is the election – turn to page 6 for a list of new councillors. The Three Counties Asylum story completes this month and I would just like to say a huge personal thank you to Richard Knight for his story and the use of the images he has supplied. It has been one of the most interesting and widely read features so far. Richard and his wife Rosalyn are a mine of information on the history of the hospital, and they are holding a 155 year celebration exhibition at Stotfold Memorial Hall on the 28th June. I for one, will be there, casting an eye over the documents and artefacts that they have both collected. I also met some pupils of Etonbury Academy who came along to St. Peter’s Church to show their artwork depicting the 8 facets of the font. All of the artworks will be on show with 8 of the final pieces on display around the fonts in special frames – see page 12. There is also the opportunity to find out more about the Neighbourhood Plan on the 19th and 20th June at the Scout Hut – see page 5. On pages 14 and 15 Jodie Chillery has written a feature on a trip to Gallipoli last year as part of the ‘Arlesey Remembers You’ project. It tells the story of a trip to find the graves of two servicemen from the First War Fred Bygrave and Frank Fowler who are named on the memorial. The project is ongoing, although the crosses have been placed and the film shown and even aired on television, there is still work going on to research the fallen soldiers.
