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 entire Vale of Feltbury to one of his loyal and trusted knights who took the title  Earl de Feltbury. He built Feltbury Castle to help defend the strategically important port of Feltbury. In the 16th century the de was dropped from the title to become just Earl Feltbury, with the title holder addressed as Lord Feltbury

Feltbury Green survives

Over the following centuries, the Vale 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
