Feltbury Green through the centuries
The first record of Feltbury Green
Feltbury Green can be found nestling in the valley of Feltbury river which flows gently through the rolling English countryside. It was first recorded in the Doomsday Book when the Norman king, William the Conqueror bequeathed the land to one of his loyal and trusted knights who took the title Lord de Feltbury. In later times Feltbury dropped the de from his name to become just Lord Feltbury
Feltbury Green survives
Over the following centuries, the borough of Feltbury survived the Black Death, the fall of the monasteries, the English civil war and the restoration of the monarchy. However, much of history passed it by, and even at the beginning of the twentieth century, it was still a sleepy backwater, untouched by the industrialisation of Queen Victoria's reign
New challenges were fought and overcome in the first and second world wars. Many old friends were lost, but new friends were found too, and the tight knit community emerged even stronger from these troubled times
An exciting new era
A new spirit of optimism and goodwill now lies at the heart of Feltbury Green. The 1950s is a time to enjoy the fruits of friendship and joy. Come with us and join in the fun
